Oliver!- Food Glorious Food [Scene One]

Food Glorious Food from the 1968 classic musical Oliver!Oliver- Mark Lester[LYRICS]Is it worth the waiting for?If we live 'til eighty fourAll 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 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 thrillWhen we all close our eyes and imagineFood, glorious food!Hot sausage and mustard!While we're in the moodCold jelly and custard!Peas pudding and saveloys!What next is the question?Rich gentlemen have it, boys In-di-gestion!Food!We're anxious to try it.Three banquets a day Our favorite diet!Just picture a great big steak Fried, roasted or stewed.Oh, food,Wonderful food,Marvelous 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 reelingOne moment of knowing thatFull-up feeling!Food, glorious food!What wouldn't we give forThat extra bit more That's all that we live forWhy should we be fated toDo nothing but broodOn food,Magical food,Wonderful food,Marvelous food,Heavenly food,Beautiful food,Glorious food!

@fanofphantom13 This is not the whole movie. The whole movie is a lot longer than that.

One of my favorite parts. Besides Where is Love and I'd Do Anything, Consider Yourself.... and Pick A Pocket Or Two.
