Oliver! - Food Glorious Food

Oliver! (The Musical) (1968) This is just a small clip from the movie Oliver! Food Glorious Food Written by: LIONEL BART Is it worth the waiting for, If we live till eighty-four All we ever get is gruel, Every day we say our prayers Will they change the bill of fair? 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 IN-DI-GESTION Food glorious food What is there more handsome Gulped swallowed or chewed Still worth a kings ransom What is it we dream about? What brings on a sigh? Piled peaches and cream about six feet high Food glorious food Were anxious to try it 3 banquets a day Our favourite diet Just picture a great big steak fried, roasted or chewed For food marvelous food wonderful food magical food fabulous food beautiful food GLORIOUS FOOD
