Ode about Gluttony

Lyrics:

© Shamika
Please note... The \'chant\' is a constant backing and repeated quickly until the final section.

Chant = \"Gobble gobble - belly wobble - glug glug, feeling smug - yum yum, big bum - slurp, snap, slip slap -
Chew chew, swallow swallow like your boots are hollow, hollow - chomp, bit, masticate, can\'t refuse or... hesitate.
In one end and out the other - feed your face, feed each other - food is love that tastes so sweet.
Without a treat, life\'s incomplete\"

Gluttony, you sometimes get confused with greed,
but you are greed that has no need, for you can feed your habit
drink, food, indulgent, crude or a taste for sex like a rabbit.
Look what you do to people\'s lives, they focus on their forks and knives
and spoons and plates and dishes - satisfying all their gluttonous wishes.
No heed to health, no need for wealth, their tastes are \'anything in their hands\'
The sugar, the fat, so much of that,,, and endless insatiable, excessive demands.

Gluttony - the only word that rhymes with you ironically is Chutney.
That ever open facial hole is stuffed to maximum capacity.
You tempt us all, answer the softest call.
You want to please, you never tease, you give, we take
and you will make our willpower break.
You have no nerve, you go right in you deadly sin, you\'re here to serve.

The slush, the mush, the sugary crush.
The cream, the pies, you emphasise how good we\'ll feel
We beg and steal to get more than we should..... and then you tell us
\"Well, that\'s not so good\"

(Chant spoken slowly)
