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
