Cap’n Crunch, Cap’n Crunch, a big fat banana bunch
Grab a rock and start to munch
I gotta eat (but not my feet)
I feel the hunger, like a thunder
Pounding inside my bloated tummy
(it says) “Give me food, dummy!”
hairless raisins, hairy raisins,
that’s the kinda food I’m raisin’
I’ve tried it all, been to the mall, chewed on the wall
Gnaw on a tree, eat from the sea, gluttonous glee
Apricots, old foot rots, the bacon trots,
What’ll I take? Rattlesnake! (tastes like chicken)
eat a goose, maybe a mongoose (it’ll make you sicken)
I gotta have food, for my mood, or I’ll get sued
The fridge is empty, the grass looks tempting
The cat ran when I got the knife, thought I was gonna take his life
(I just wanna eat)
Is it such a sin? So I get ravenous now and then
Breakfast supper or lunch, I need something to munch
I need to feed (Perhaps birdseed) food’s my creed
My stomach bleeds; I need a Russian kangaroo,
so go to the zoo, I ate one with the flu, tasted kinda blue;
lamb chops, dusty mops, growing crops, corn that pops, field mice bops,
Rabbit drops, things that hops, asparagus tops, or Shweekalawffa-zops!
Food, for my mood, I need to brood, I’m such a food-dude, kinda crude,
a little lewd, not quite nude, I need food!
