As recorded by LESLIE SARONY:
I'm very fond of veg'tables, I'm very fond of meat
In fact, I'm fond of anything that's really good to eat
I'm fond of fish and fruit and all the rest
But here's the thing I really like the best
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
It's good for me and also good for you
It's very labour-saving when a dinner party comes
You leave it on the table and it eats up all the crumbs
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
It's good for me and also good for you
Now in the ballroom people want a new dance ev'ry year
And what is it that jumps about and gives them the idea
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
I'm very fond of gambling and I love to see a race
A week ago today the grocer's handicap took place
Each owner ran a cheese. Now I don't boast
They shouted as my cheese went past the post
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
It's good for me and also good for you
With Cheddar second, Stilton third, the rest all strung along
Who was it came home miles in front and still was going strong
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
It's good for me and also good for you
Said Gladstone, both the Liberals and Conservatives are wrong
Now, who can we depend on who is here and mighty strong
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue

with vocal by LESLIE SARONY, 27th October 1930:
Cheese cheese, cheese, nice cheese, come here
Oh, cheese my baby, cheese my old dutch
(Orchestral Interlude)
I'm very fond of veg'tables, I'm very fond of meat
In fact, I'm fond of anything that's really good to eat
I'm fond of fish and fruit and all the rest
But what is it I really like the best
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
It's good for me and also good for you
It's very labour-saving when a dinner party comes
You leave it on the table and it eats up all the crumbs
Gorgonzola, Gorgonzola
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
(Orchestral Interlude)
Oh, the jolly old Gorgonzola, eh
It's dear old Gorg
I could gorg myself on Gorgonzola
The old parking place ???? ?????
So succulent, don't you think, what, I do rather
I think it's a marvellous thing, I do really
Now, perpetual motion can't be done
The wise men try to prove
Well, you get a microscope
And see what's always on the move
Gorgonzola, pot of cider (sic)
Three cheers for the green, white and blue
