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
Absolutely loved this film, and thinking of the songs is actually helping me get through my reading of the novel atm, for anyone who has read Dickens will know, the characters are quite downtrodden.
Great movie. Childhood memories
hi
I'm here b/c I have no food either and just wanted to revel in some entertainment of others that don't have food as well. 🙂
It's really sad how they have to eat oats in week old water with no flavour YUCK!
Hot Sausage and Mustard!!
Who's here because Oliver is part of your childhood?
When I'm hungry……
Love this
They eat from a pot of dry ice?
The 20something themesong
Whos here from American dad?
Hate to be a party pooper but cold jelly and custard was not a popular dessert or even eaten by the upper classes in the 1840s in Britain. Custard was around, but jelly certainly wasn't well known yet. They are singing about food they did not know about nor even eaten by the people they were aspiring to. Silly.
Great performance.
Heartbreaking
Lmao I'm here bc I was reading fanfiction and they mentioned this song
do they sing that every time they have food cuz if they do that would be so annoying
Remembered when i played this in my school lol
1:15 For fish fingers and custard ??

The anthem for communism
Poached possum served flambé!
Me every time I go take my lunch break at work… and in general XD
