    I thought I'd do some interpreting for non-European audiences.
    Chips = Known as "fries" to Americans.
    Biscuit = Unlike American biscuits, which are soft and craggy, biscuits in the UK are more uniform in shape and pretty similar to cookies. Sometimes they're coated in chocolate.
    Jumper = A sweater.
    A1(M) = The designation given to a series of four separate motorway sections in England.
    Hatfield = A town located in the county of Hertfordshire, England.
    Lorry = Known as a "truck" to Americans.
    Sainsbury's = Major supermarket chain in the UK.
    Nik Naks = Brand name of a British corn-based snack that's similar to Crunchy Cheetos (but with non-cheese flavors). There is also a South African snack with the same name with similar features.
    Hobnobs = See "Biscuit"; Hobnobs is a brand name.
    Volez les... = French for "Steal the..."
    Vol-au-vent = Hollow puff pastry with a savory creamy filling. It's pretty similar to chicken pot pie. Doesn't always have chicken; it can be filled with ham, mushrooms, salmon, etc.
    Lurpak = Danish brand name of butter.
    Snack a Jacks = Flavored discs of puffed rice, made by Quaker. If you're familiar with Quaker brand Rice Cakes in North America, they're pretty similar.
    Jaffa Cakes = Biscuit-sized cakes made of layers of Genoise sponge cake, orange flavored jam, and a chocolate coating.
    Penguins = A chocolate-based snack that is similar to Australian "Tim Tams." Jay Foreman says to "pick up the Penguins," referencing the official slogan, "P...P...P...Pick up a...Penguin."
    Yum-Yums = A type of glazed donut that is long and twisted, instead of round with a hole in the middle.
    Sweeties = From what I can tell, this is just a generic term, like "Candy."

      Hello! I use an app that shows me all comments across my channel, no matter how old the video is. There’s no plans to make any more songs for this channel, I’m afraid. Whereas this channel used to be a casual dumping ground for all my videos, live clips and all, it’s now become my full-time job. And I’m afraid I’m compelled by The Algorithm with a capital A to keep this channel for educational map-related videos only. I’ve not given up on my musical comedy though. I’m still gigging and touring, I just won’t be adding clips to this channel anymore. Maybe I’ll start a second channel for music stuff. Haven’t decided yet. And haven’t really written much new stuff in a long time. Keep an eye on my website and twitter for updates on any music stuff I might be working on in the future.

    Stealing Food Stealing Food Stealing Food, Food, Food
    Eating what belongs to others puts me in a good mood
    Though my friends say that I shouldn't
    There is nothing that I wouldn't Steal Food, Food, Food, Food, Food
    I'm a veritable gastronomic kleptomaniac
    While my friends are having dinner is when I like to attack
    I say "Look, what's that behind you?"
    And they turn around to see,
    Then I finish what they're eating
    and I say "It wasn't me"
    Stealing Food Stealing Food Stealing Food, Food, Food
    Cheefing chips and pinching pringles puts me in a good mood
    Food is so much more delicious if my friends are all suspicious
    Stealing Food, Food, Food, Food, Food
    Now, the most efficient way to satisfy your apetite
    Is to eat from your friend's cupboards in the middle of the night
    But no matter if you're tempted, you should never take the lot;
    Leave the packaging behind, remind them what they haven't got
    Stealing Food Stealing Food Stealing Food, Food, Food
    When I risk it for a biscuit then I'm in a good mood
    It's the best of all decisions, going klepto on provisions
    Steal Food, Food, Food, Food, Food
    At the local supermarket they've got food on every shelf
    Simply hide it in your jumper: you can take it for yourself
    If the camera doesn't see you and you're relatively quick
    You can fill yourself for days with all the things that you can nick
    Run away-ing without paying puts me in a good mood
    With my method, tried and tested, I will never be arrested
    On the A1 in Hatfield there's warehouse, yes that's right
    Massive lorryloads of food go in and out all day and night
    If you're clever with your timings and there's 10 of you, at least
    You'll be driving home a lorry with a veritable feast
    Stealing Food Stealing Food Stealing Food, Food, Food
    Jacking lorryloads from Sainsbury's puts me in a good mood
    Stealing, Stealing, Stealing, Stealing, Stealing, Stealing, Stealing, Stealing Stealing Food, Food, Food, Food, Food
    Pinch the peanuts,
    Nick the Nik-Naks,
    Take the Teabags,
    Burgle the Beef Burgers
    Grab the Grape Juice
    Rob the Rice Cakes
    Heist the Hob Nobs
    Vole le Vol Le Vent
    Lift the Lurpak
    Snatch the Snack-A-Jacks
    Jack the Jaffa Cakes
    Pick up the Penguins
    Yoink the Yum-Yums
    Swipe the Sweeties

    Not sure if you still read comments from videos this old but I find myself coming back to your songs every now and then (I've actually purchased your albums a few years back!). It's not just the lyrics I really love but also the accompanying music. While I don't play music myself, I really appreciate the little details like the catchy bass notes and certain chord progressions. I can't really explain but everything is just brilliant.
    Jay for the love of heck, please write more songs and consider putting them on Spotify (use a distributor like DistroKid, CD Baby, Ditto, TuneCore, etc). Maybe make a separate music channel if this one isn't suited anymore. You're a top notch songwriter and I'd love to hear more original music from you. Much love
