Beans and rice is very nice But meat and spuds is better Posh folk feast on salmon, smoked Or prepared with herbs and butter
When sheckels are few a pot of stew With offal, bones and dripping Will fill the guts in hovels and huts Of those eking out a living
The jet set munches on lobster lunches Fine wine and exotic cocktails All kinds of fishes and gourmet dishes Partridge, pheasant and quails
Children’s bellies get filled with jellies And sweets, iced-lollies and soda Bad habits that stay all through our days Till our teeth fall out when we’re older
