Hungry Man - Louis Jordan
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 till 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 kebap 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'
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
