Who's that tv chef there, with the glasses and beard
Syndicated show, around the country, appeared
Everyday he gave another fine recipe
Oh-oh-oh it's so good - was his trademark, you see
Friendly manner,easy, and a likable dude
We're all sure gonna' miss him, he was Mr. Food..

One day'd bake a meatloaf, maybe next a souffle
Showed us how to do it in the simplest way
In our town he came on as a part of the news
Had spec-ial ingredients he put in beef stews
Fans across the nation dug the snacks he'd include
Might call him Mr Entertainment, Mr. Food

Mr. Food, the name he went by,
Mr. Food, was such a nice guy,
Mr. Food, smiling and cheerful
He'd always taste his kitchen cookin' - Mr. Food chow

Mr. Food, not no spring chicken,
Mr. Food, experienced cookin',
Mr. Food, he had it clickin'
Too bad, we'll have to do without our Mr. Food, now

Friendly as your neighbor or the guy down the block
Always cool and clever, and his humor would rock
Long career on tv lasted thirty some years
In enthusiasm he was up to his ears
Always showed great courtesy and never talked rude
From butcher in Schenectady to Mr. Food..

Mr. Food, real name was Ginsburg
Mr. Food, gave help to children
Mr. Food, Cooked his life, well done
He passed away, farewell, we say to Mr. Food, now

Mr. Food, Authored a cookbook
Mr. Food, Heaven's his oven
Mr. Food, Cookin' for Angels
His tv show continues on with other chefs, now
