Oliver - Food Glorious Food lyrics

rate me

Is it worth the waiting for,

If we live till eighty-four

All we ever get is gruel,

Every day we say our prayers

Will they change the bill of fair?

Still we get the same old gruel

Theres 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 imagine,

Food glorious food

Hot sausage and mustard

While we're in the mood cold jelly and custard

Peas pudding and savaloys

what next is the question?

Rich gentlemen have it boys

IN-DI-GESTION

Food glorious food

What is there more handsome

Gulped swallowed or chewed

Still worth a kings ransom

What is it we dream about?

What brings on a sigh?

Piled peaches an cream about six feet high

Food glorious food

were anxious to try it

3 banquets a day

our favourite diet

just picture a great big steak fried, roasted or chewed

For food marvelous food wonderful food magical food fabulous food beautiful food

GLORIOUS FOOD
