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'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 imag... ine
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 --
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
Magical food
Wonderful food
Marvellous food
Fabulous food
Beautiful food
Glorious food!
