Karaoké Food, Glorious Food Oliver! (musical)

Is it worth the waiting for if we live 'til eighty four all we ever get is gruel

Ev'ry day we say our 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 indigestion

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 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

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

Beautiful food

Glorious food
