Текст (слова) песни: Oliver! - Food, Glorious Food

 
[BOYS] 
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! 
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. 
Three banquets a day -- 
Our favourite diet! 
 
Just picture a great big steak -- 
Fried, roasted or stewed. 
Oh, food, 
Wonderful food, 
Marvellous food, 
Glorous food. 
 
Food, glorious food! 
What is ther emore handsome? 
Gulped, swallowed or chewed -- 
Still worth a kin`s ransom. 
What is it we dream about? 
Wat brings on a sigh? 
Piled pieahes 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 -- 
The 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, 
 
[OLIVER] 
Beautiful food, 
 
[BOYS] 
Glorious food
