October 29th – Sir Walter Raleigh executed – “Food Glorious Food”

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 stewed
Oh food marvelous food wonderful food magical food fabulous food beautiful food
GLORIOUS FOOD
