Lyrics
|
Is this worth a waiting for?
|
If we live til 84
|
All we'll ever get is gruel
|
Every day we say a pray
|
Will they change the bill or far
|
Still we get the same old gruel
|
There's 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 a 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 saveloys
|
What next is the question
|
Rich gentlemen have it boys - indigestion
|
Food glorious food - we're anxious try it
|
Three banquets a day
|
Our favourite diet
|
Just picture a great big steak
|
Fried, roasted or stewed
|
Oh food, wonderful food
|
Marvellous food
|
Glorious 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 foot high
|
Food, glorious food - eat right through the menu
|
Just losen your belt
|
Two inches and then you
|
Work up a new appetite
|
In this interlude
|
Then 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 sense go reeling
|
One movement 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
|
Oh food, magical food
|
Wonderful food
|
Marvellous food
|
Fabulous food
|
Beautiful food
|
Glorious food
|
