Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know a chef in Albuquerque
Who excels in baking Turkey
So when I want turkey, I go to Albuquerque
I'm such a hungry man
[Verse 2]
They got a cook in East St. Louis
Who makes the most delicious Chop Suey
So when I crave chop suey, I go to East St. Louis
I'm such a hungry man
[Verse 3]
Duncan Hines, he ain't got nothing on me
I've been know to drive alone
To Butte, Montana, to get a banana split
[Verse 4]
They got a fish house in old Pawtucket
That serves you steamed clams in a bucket
So for clams in a bucket, I go to old Pawtucket
I'm such a hungry man
[Verse 5]
I take a train to downtown Philly
Where I eat scrapple till I get silly
I also eat a lot there, the pepper pot they got there
I'm such a hungry man
[Verse 6]
I often fly up to the Maine coast
To get broiled lobster with some plain toast
To keep from getting melancholy I munch a Mexican tamale
Ooh, I'm such a hungry man
[Verse 7]
Shish-kebab, one of my favorite snacks
Nothin' beats a piece of pizza, out in Laguna, I get my tuna fish
[Verse 8]
I met a gal in Tucumcari
She's the one I plan to marry
She was so good lookin' but then she started cookin'
And that's when love began
[Verse 9]
Oh for me, I'm such a hungry man
Such a hungry man
Ooh, such a hungry man
Yes, I'm downright famished
