(capo 1st fret) D7 G Stealing food, stealing food C G Stealing food, food, food C D G G7 Eating what belongs to others puts me in a good mood C D Though my friends say that I shouldn’t, G E7 There is nothing that I wouldn’t steal. Am C D D(F#) G Food, food, food, food, food!! Em Am I’m a veritable gastronomic kleptomaniac B Em While my friends are having dinner is when I like to attack Am D G E7 I say “look, what’s that behind you?” and they turn around to see Am D D7 Then I finish what they’re eating, and I say “it wasn’t me.” Stealing food, stealing food Stealing food, food, food Cheefing chips and pinching pringles puts me in a good mood Food is so much more delicious If my friends are all suspicious! Stealing food, food, food, food, food!! (capo up 1 fret) Now, the most efficient way to satisfy your appetite Is to eat from your friends’ cupboards in the middle of the night But no matter if you’re tempted; you should never take the lot Leave the packaging behind; remind them what they haven’t got. Stealing food, stealing food Stealing food, food, food When I risk it for a biscuit, then I’m in a good mood It’s the best of all decisions Going klepto on provisions Stealing food, food, food, food, food!! (capo up 1 fret) At the local supermarket, they’ve got food on every shelf Simply hide it in your jumper, you can take it for yourself If the camera doesn’t see you and you’re relatively quick You can fill yourself for days with all the things that you can nick! Stealing food, stealing food Stealing food, food, food Run-awaying without paying puts me in a good mood With my method tried and tested I will never be arrested Stealing food, food, food, food, food!! (capo up 1 fret) On the A1(M) in Hatfield there’s a warehouse, yes that’s right! Massive lorry-loads of food go in and out all day and night If you’re clever with your timing and there’s ten of you at least You’ll be driving home a lorry with a veritable feast! Stealing food, stealing food Stealing food, food, food Jacking lorryloads from Sainsburys puts me in a good mood Stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing, Stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing Food, food, food, food, food!!
