Food, Glorious Food - Keith Hampshire/Orchestra/Marcus Dods

作词：Lionel Bart

作曲：Lionel Bart

Is it worth the waiting for

If we live 'til eighty four

All we ever get is gru el

Ev'ry day we say our prayer --

Will they change the bill of fare

Still we get the same old gru el

There is not a cust 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

Peas pudding and saveloys

What's 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

Marvellous food

Glorious food

Food glorious food

What is there more handsome

Gulped swallowed or chewed --

Still worth a kin'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 --

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 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

Glorious food
