Food Glorious Food

Food, glorious food… we're anxious to try it

Three banquets a day, our favorite diet!

Just picture a mammoth steak, fried, roasted or stewed

Oh, food, wonderful food, marvelous food, glorious food!

Food, glorious food,

Poached possum served flambé,

Broth made from a sloth,

Or a saber-tooth souffle,

Why should we be fated to,

Do nothing but brood,

On food, magical food, wonderful food, marvelous food?

Food, glorious food,

Flesh picked off the dead ones,

Rank, rotten, or chewed,

Soon, we'll be the fed ones!

Just thinking of putrid meat

Puts us in a mood for

Food, glorious food, marvelous food, fabulous food, beautiful food,

Magical food,

Glorious food!
