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

[Instrumental Break]

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
