THE MUNCHIES
I have the munchies
and the munchies, they have me
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCHIES
OH, THEM BLASTED MUNCHIES
They hit me up so long ago,
Left their mark and took a toll
Now I'm runnin' to and fro
Where's my money? HOLY CROW!
This income will have to do somehow.
I'm hungry enough to eat that freakin' cow
I have a big huge appetite
It keeps growin' and growin' every night
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCHIES
OH, THEM BLASTED MUNCHIES
I'm sittin in my bed tonight
Wonderin' bout the stars alight
Then my tummy gives a growl
I'm runnin' to the kitchen now
I just want some chocolate
please, please, PLEASE
I've torn apart my house,
My ma's not pleased
Just a little chocolate is all I need
I notice that my pants are too tight
My mother tells me, "I'm quite the sight!"
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCHIES
OH, THEM BLASTED MUNCHIES
Rice Crispies and chocolate cake
Baclava, oh I can't wait!
Cookies, brownies, OH parfait!
I scream ice cream all the day!
My mouth is watering, I'm on my knees.
My tummy is so full! I'm gonna heave!
A good friend asked me, "How far along?"
I had to tell her, "Food baby..."
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCHIES
OH, THEM BLASTED MUNCHIES
Strawberries and coconuts
Berries, melons, apricots
Carrots, broccoli, cucumbers
Corn, peas, beets, and pumpkin squash!
Oh tomorrow I will surely pay
My fiber intake, will leave me in the bathroom all day...
I noticed something was not alright
I looked down, my toes were out of sight.
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCHIES
OH, THEM BLASTED MUNCHIES
Chicken, Turkey, lamb, and Duck
Steak and Beef and oh Pot Luck
Bacon, sausage, SAVORY!
Look at that Pig! HICKORY!
I can feel my arteries start to clog
My thunder thighs are finding it hard to jog.
Then one day I went to the Doc.
My LDL's were off the charts,
My blood pressure was through the roof
My body fat was sickening
THE MUNCHIES, OH THE MUNCIES
I HAVE GOT TO CONQUER THESE MUNCHIES
He put me on a diet then
Told me that my life could end
Eat your veggies and legumes
Whole grains and some fishy too!
Exercise will do your body good
Munchies you can leave, we now are through!
That's all I got.
Now, I will talk about the inspiration for this song...
Today, I thought to myself, "Wow! Today is gonna be a really good day! I'm gonna do my homework and get all my applications done!" And then I saw the piano and I thought to myself, "wow, I'm really hungry." And so I found some dehydrated apples. And then I sat down and played the piano. And then I thought about my fingers, because my callouses had just fallen off. And so naturally I was like, "Well, I had better build them callouses back up!" So I grabbed my guitar and started playing. Then I realized something. I didn't have food with me. So I found a gogurt. I ate it and then continued with my guitar. And then I realized that I didn't have any songs memorized and I didn't have a guitar book with me. So I started making up a song. And I was like, "what am I passionate about?... FOOD!" And yes, this conversation was out loud, not in my head. And well, it's all history from there. I have a history of the munchies. They won't leave me alone and I'm constantly hungry. Thank goodness for food :)
