is it worth the waiting for

if we live till 84

all we ever get is gruel

everyday we say a prayer

will they change the bill of fare 

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 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

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

3 banquets a day our faveourite 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 handsom

gulped, swallowed, or chewed 

still worth a king's randsom

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 losen your belt 

2 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 thinkin' of growing fat our senses go 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, marvellous food, fabulous food,

beautiful food, glo-ri-ous fooooooooood..............!!!!
