Stealing Food

(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!!
