"Beautiful soup, so rich and green!
     Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
Soup of the evening, beautiful soup!
     Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
     Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-evening,
     Beautiful, beautiful Soup!

Beautiful soup! Who cares for fish,
Game, or any other dish?
Who would not give all else for two
Pennyworth only of beautiful soup?
     Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
     Beau-ootiful Soo-oop!
Soo-oop of the e-e-evening,
     Beautiful, beauti-FUL SOUP!"
