Hungry Man (08-09-49) |
I know a chef in Albuquerque |
Who excels in bakin' turkey |
So when I want turkey, I go to Albuquerque |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
There is a cook in East St. Louis |
Who makes the most delicious chop suey |
So when I want chop suey, I go to East St. Louis |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
Duncan Hines, he ain’t got nothin' on me |
I’ve been known to drive alone |
To Butte, Montana to get a banana split |
They got a fishhouse in old Pawtucket |
That serves you steamed clams in a bucket |
So for clams in a bucket I go to old Pawtucket |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
I take a train to downtown Philly |
Where I eat scrapple 'til I get silly |
I also eat a lot there of the pepper pot they got there |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
I often fly up to the Maine coast |
To get boiled lobster with some plain toast |
To keep from being melancholy I munch a Mexican tamale |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
Shish kebab, that’s one of my favorite snacks |
Nothin' beats a piece of pizza |
Out in Laguna, I get my tuna fish |
I met a gal in Tucumcari |
And she’s the one I plan to marry |
Now she was fat and not good-lookin', but when she started cookin' |
Mmm-mmm-mmm, I’m such a hungry man |
Duncan Hines, he ain’t got nothin' on me |
I’ve been known to drive alone |
To Butte, Montana to get a banana split |
I met a gal in Tucumcari |
And she’s the one I plan to marry |
Now she was fat and not good-lookin', but when she started cookin' |
That’s when love began |
'Cause I’m such a hungry man |
