Is it worth the waiting for?
If we live 'til eighty four
All 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 cust, 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 imag...ine

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!
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,
Glorous food.

Food, glorious food!
What is ther emore handsome?
Gulped, swallowed or chewed --
Still worth a kin's ransom.
What is it we dream about?
Wat brings on a sigh?
Piled pieahes 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,

[OLIVER]
Beautiful food,

[BOYS]
Glorious food

those (seemingly many) latin house records where the only lyrics seem to be:

Arroz con pollo!

Cafe con leche!

Have you ever heard of a wish sandwich? A wish sandwich is the kind of a sandwich where you have two slices of bread and you, hee hee hee, wish you had some meat...
Bow bow bow...
Ummm... the other day I had a ricochet biscuit. A ricochet biscuit is the kind of a biscuit that's supposed to bounce back off the wall into your mouth. If it don't bounce back... you go hungry!
Bow bow bow...
Umm, umm, umm... the other day I had a cool water sandwich and a Sunday-go-to-meetin' bun...
Bow bow bow...
Hee hee hee hee... What da ya want for nothing? ... a rubber biscuit?
Bow bow bow...

On the brilliant "Heavy Epic" by Bonnie Camplin (my favourite record right now!), there's a short track called "The Normal Food" which includes these lyrics

In my fridge I got
Daddies Sauce
Cheddar Cheese
Heinz Baked Beans
(the normal food, the normal food)

not a song but a lyric, think it was 3-6 mafia. Something like 'eating so much shrimp I got iodine poisoning' loved that to death when I first heard it.

e-40 has a bunch of great food related new slang (Gouda, Chalupa, Jaeber(sp?) but it's all food as money metaphors.

E-40 also appeared (alongside Big Boi) on the excellent "Ham Sandwiches And Coupe De Villes", which (although I thought it was a 40 track), apparently appeared on a Big Gipp disc.

And, although it was mentioned on the massive Food song list, Zappa's "Call Any Vegetable Suite" deserves a special mention.

Sir Mixalot - Baby Got Back

This track was provisionaly titled Baby Got Streaky, but was felt to suggest a nasty tanning accident.

Nobody devoted themselves quite as singularly to food as Hasil Adkins, whether it be "Peanut Butter Rock N Roll" or "No More Hot Dogs", but those pale in comparison to his inspiring "Poultry In Motion" compilation:

Chicken Hunch
Chicken Hop
Chicken Run
Chicken Wobble
Cookin'Chicken
Chicken Walk
Chicken Flop
Chicken Shake
Chicken Blues
Pick That Chicken
Chicken Twist
Chicken On The Bone

He also was the subject of one of my favourite food-related musician anecdotes, when he unwittingly consumed Miriam Linna's Warhol can of Campbell's soup while crashing at her house one night.

Bring out the vacuum
How about that Bauhaus tune that I think is officially just called 'Peter Murphy', in which the singer shouts and wails a recipe for making fish cakes?

Take the fish ... and put it in your hand. IN YOUR HAND!!

All over an 808 beat if I remember correctly!? It's been a while...
