<br>

[BOYS]<br>

Is it worth the waiting for?<br>

If we live 'til eighty four<br>

All we ever get is gru...el!<br>

Ev'ry day we say our prayer --<br>

Will they change the bill of fare?<br>

Still we get the same old gru...el!<br>

There is not a cust, not a crumb can we find,<br>

Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,<br>

But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill<br>

When we all close our eyes and imag...ine<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

Hot sausage and mustard!<br>

While we're in the mood -- <br>

Cold jelly and custard!<br>

Pease pudding and saveloys!<br>

What next is the question?<br>

Rich gentlemen have it, boys --<br>

In-di-gestion!<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

We're anxious to try it.<br>

Three banquets a day -- <br>

Our favourite diet!<br>

<br>

Just picture a great big steak --<br>

Fried, roasted or stewed.<br>

Oh, food,<br>

Wonderful food,<br>

Marvellous food,<br>

Glorous food.<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

What is ther emore handsome?<br>

Gulped, swallowed or chewed --<br>

Still worth a kin's ransom.<br>

What is it we dream about?<br>

Wat brings on a sigh?<br>

Piled pieahes and cream , about<br>

Six feet high!<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

Eat right through the menu.<br>

Just loosen your belt<br>

Two inches and then you<br>

Work up a new appetite.<br>

In this interlude --<br>

The food,<br>

Once again, food<br>

Fabulous food,<br>

Glorious food.<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

Don't care what it looks like --<br>

Burned!<br>

Underdone!<br>

Crude!<br>

Don't care what the cook's like.<br>

Just thinking of growing fat -- <br>

Our senses go reeling<br>

One moment of knowing that<br>

Full-up feeling!<br>

<br>

Food, glorious food!<br>

What wouldn't we give for <br>

That extra bit more --<br>

That's all that we live for<br>

Why should we be fated to<br>

Do nothing but brood<br>

On food, <br>

Magical food, <br>

Wonderful food,<br>

Marvellous food,<br>

Fabulous food,<br>

<br>

[OLIVER]<br>

Beautiful food,<br>

<br>

[BOYS]<br>

Glorious food<br>

<br>
