Let’s Eat! – Lyrics

1
I’m a very important Roman,
So welcome to my feast,
There’s lots of tasty food for you
It really is a treat!
Come lay around my table
And gorge until you’re sick,
So you can make more room to eat
Yes that’ll do the trick!

2
Dormice and peacock and fat snails and jellyfish,
Lamb brain and ostrich and wild boar and octopus,
Oysters and parrot and fish sauce and olive oil,
Thrushes and urchin there’s so much food to eat!

3
There’s so much that we can eat,
Let’s keep going till we’re beat,
Time to eat up every crumb,
Now show us to the vomitorium!

4

Combine the 3 parts  – or as many as you wish!
(Or you could sing your favourite verse again)
