Swinging Tripes and Trillibubkins was written in 1986 and comes from the opera The Intelligence Park to a libretto by Vincent Deane.
'Trillibubkins', meaning 'entrails, the innards of an animal', refers to a feast in Act III:
Soup enough to swim in;
huge swinging tripes and trillibubkins;
pullets not two hours from their shells;
rare buttock of veal en daube;
melons for ecstasy,
a hash of crambe, crambe, crambe.
Pig and carrot - dish of queens;
calf's heart pudding; bowls of flummery:
gardens, forests and menageries
cut down to grace our table.
