Is it worth the waiting for

If we live 'till eighty-four

All we ever get is

Gruel

Everyday we say our prayer

Will they change the bill of fare

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 saveloys

What next is the question

Rich gentlemen have it, boys

In-die-gestion!

(Uggh)

Food, glorious food

We're anxious to try it

Three banquets a day

Our favorite diet

Just picture a great big steak

Fried, roasted or stewed

But food

Wonderful food

Marvelous 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

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

Fabulous food

Glorious food

Food, glorious food

Don't care what it looks like

Burned, underdone, crude

Don't care what the cooks like

Just thinking of growing fat

Our senses go reeling

One moment of knowing that

Full

Up

Feeling

Food, glorious food (Food, glorious food)

What wouldn't we give for (What wouldn't we give for)

That extra bit more (That extra bit more)

That's all that we live for (That's all that we live for)

Why should we be fated to

Do nothing but brood

On food

Magical food

Wonderful food

Marvelous food

Fabulous food

Beautiful food

Glorious

Food

More worrrrrrrddddddddssss
