Hongry Lyrics by The Coasters

1965

[Verse 1]
Give me some French fries and some ham on rye
Because I’m hungry, hungry
Lettuce and tomato and a slice of pizza pie
Because I’m hungry, hungry

[Chorus]
Listen young lady, I ain’t no tramp
Just tired of these missed meal cramps
I’m hungry, hungry

[Verse 2]
I went to the unemployment office just to draw up my last check
Cos I was hungry, hungry
Running so fast I tripped and broke my neck
Cos I was hungry, hungry

[Chorus]
Listen young lady, I ain’t no tramp
Just tired of these missed meal cramps
I’m hungry, hungry

[Bridge]
Yes I know that there’s a slight Depression on
And I’d be lucky if I еat that last hambone
I don’t know but I guess by heck
Somеtimes my stomach thinks somebody done a broke my neck

[Verse 3]
Leg bones and black eyed beans, they sure smell nice
And I’m hungry, hungry
Twenty foot roll and a bucket of steaming rice
Cos I’m hungry, hungry

[Chorus]
Listen young lady, I ain’t no tramp
I’m just tired of the missed meal cramps
I’m hungry, hungry

Sup, sup, supper
And I’m hungry, hungry
