1.
Corned beef on pumpernickel or sometimes barbequed
  Pastrami, salami on light rye. I'm in it for the food.
   
  Roast chicken on Friday night or like Chinese, cashewed
  Matzoh balls in chicken soup. I'm in it for the food.
 
chorus Hassidic or Orthodox? Conservative? Reform?
  I've been a gastronomic Jew since the day that I was born
  I've been a gastronomic Jew since the day that I was born
 
2.
Mama made stuffed cabbage. With tomatoes it was stewed
  Put raisins in a kugel. I'm in it for the food.
 
chorus  
 
3.
Lox on toasted bagel. With cream cheese it is glued
  Slice a bermuda onion. I'm in it for the food.
   
  No pork or shrimp or lobster. Those things are taboo'd
  I don't drink milk anyway. I'm in it for the food.
   
chorus  
   
coda
I've been a gastronomic Jew since the day that I was born
 

"A band mate, Les Appel, suggested that I write a song about Jewish food for Shalom Feivel & Rocky Mountain JewgrassTM. I came up with the line 'I'm in it for the food' and started looking for true rhymes for food." — San
