Lyrics
Is it worth the waiting for? If we live ‘til eighty-four
All we ever get is gruel!
Ev’ry day 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, Indyegestion!
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, 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 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, marvelous food.
Fabulous food, beautiful food. Glorious food!
