Tom: Em
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!!
[Verse]
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.”
[Chorus]
D7 G
Stealing food, stealing food
C G
Stealing food, food, food
C D G G7
Cheefing chips and pinching pringles puts me in a good mood
C D
Food is so much more delicious
G E7
If my friends are all suspicious!
Am C D D/F# G
Stealing food, food, food, food, food!!
[Verse]
Em Am
Now, the most efficient way to satisfy your appetite
B Em
Is to eat from your friends’ cupboards in the middle of the night
Am D G E7
But no matter if you’re tempted; you should never take the lot
Am D D7
Leave the packaging behind; remind them what they haven’t got.
[Chorus]
D7 G
Stealing food, stealing food
C G
Stealing food, food, food
C D G G7
When I risk it for a biscuit, then I’m in a good mood
C D
It’s the best of all decisions
G E7
Going klepto on provisions
Am C D D/F# G
Stealing food, food, food, food, food!!
[Verse]
Em Am
At the local supermarket, they’ve got food on every shelf
B Em
Simply hide it in your jumper, you can take it for yourself
Am D G E7
If the camera doesn’t see you and you’re relatively quick
Am D D7
You can fill yourself for days with all the things that you can nick!
[Chorus]
D7 G
Stealing food, stealing food
C G
Stealing food, food, food
C D G G7
Run-awaying without paying puts me in a good mood
C D
With my method tried and tested
G E7
I will never be arrested
Am C D D/F# G
Stealing food, food, food, food, food!!
[Verse]
Em Am
On the A1(M) in Hatfield there’s a warehouse, yes that’s right!
B Em
Massive lorry-loads of food go in and out all day and night
Am D G E7
If you’re clever with your timing and there’s ten of you at least
Am D D7
You’ll be driving home a lorry with a veritable feast!
[Chorus]
D7 G
Stealing food, stealing food
C G
Stealing food, food, food
C D G G7
Jacking lorryloads from Sainsburys puts me in a good mood
C D
Stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing,
G E7
Stealing, stealing, stealing, stealing
Am C D D/F# G
Food, food, food, food, food!!
