Lionel Bart - Food, Glorious Food lyrics

[BOYS] Is it worth the waiting for? If we live 'til eighty four All we ever get is gru...el! Ev'ry day we say a prayer -- Will they change the bill of fare? Still we get the same old gru...el! There is not a crust, not a crumb can we find, Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge, But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill When we all close our eyes and imag...ine Food, glorious food! Hot sausage and mustard! While we're in the mood -- Cold jelly and custard! Pease pudding and saveloys! What next is the question? Rich gentlemen have it, boys -- In-di-gestion! Food, glorious food! We're anxious to try it. Three banquets a day -- Our favourite diet! Just picture a great big steak -- Fried, roasted or stewed. Oh, food, Wonderful food, Marvelous food, Glorous food. Food, glorious food! What is there more handsome? Gulped, swallowed or chewed -- Still worth a king's ransom. What is it we dream about? What brings on a sigh? Piled peaches and cream , about Six feet high! Food, glorious food! Eat right through the menu. Just loosen your belt Two inches and then you Work up a new appetite. In this interlude -- The food, Once again, food Fabulous food, Glorious food. Food, glorious food! Don't care what it looks like -- Burned! Underdone! Crude! Don't care what the cook's like. Just thinking of growing fat -- Our senses are reeling One moment of knowing that Full-up feeling! Food, glorious food! What wouldn't we give for That extra bit more -- That's all that we live for Why should we be fated to Do nothing but brood On food, Magical food, Wonderful food, Marvelous food, Fabulous food, [OLIVER] Beautiful food, [BOYS] Glorious food
