Miss Codwell, please! There are children present
[CODWELL, SPOKEN]

[CODWELL]
Ain't got no dad
Ain't got mum
But are they sad?
Or are they glum?
[BOTH]
No, they confront a world that's vile and mean
With the sweetest smiles you've ever seen
Oh, they're good enough to eat
[CODWELL, BLIGHT]
A job well done (A job well done)
Is oh so rare (is oh so rare)
When sun to sun (When sun to sun)
The cupboard's bare (So bare)
[BOTH]
Before these darlings get much thinner
I think we ought to make them dinner
Ooh, they're good enough to eat
[SPOKEN]
Supper time!
Careful, ooh, could take an eye out
[ORPHANS]
We may not be respectable
But we are so delectable
Don't mean to be presumptuous
But truth is, we are scrumptious
Cakes and candies ain't half as sweet
Ooh, we're good enough to eat
[CODWELL, ORPHANS]
Ain't got no dad (We may not be respectable)
Ain't got mum (But we are so delectable)
But are they sad? (Don't mean to be presumptuous)
Or are they glum, so glum? (But truth is, we are scrumptious)
[CODWELL AND BLIGHT, ORPHANS]
No, they confront a world that's vile and mean (Cakes and candies ain't half as sweet)
With the sweetest smiles you've ever seen
[ALL]
Oh, they're good enough to eat
[Dance break]
[CODWELL]

[CODWELL AND BLIGHT, ORPHANS]
When times is hard (When times is hard)
You must make do (You must make do)
All out of lard? (All out of lard?)
Try Mary Lou (And try her brother too)
[ALL, CODWELL]
Yes, when you lack a key ingredient
Substitutes become expedient
Ooh, they're good enough
Though they're kinda tough
Ooh, they're good enough to eat (Enough to eat)
(Enough to eat)
Eat, darn ya, eat!
