[Em]
[A] [Em] [E]
When I first met you, [F#m] baby, [Gm] you fed [F#m] me on chicken [G] and [E] wine
It was steak and potatoes and lobster and babe, I sure felt fine
But [A]
[Em] now all you give me is [E] seaweed and [G#]
alfalfa [Gm] sprouts [A] and sunflower [C#] seeds
I [F#] got my [Em] doubts, [E] babe, you [G#] left me [Gm] here with a [D] chicken [E] cordon bleu
[D] [Em] [B]
[E] My stomach's so empty and all I got is food for thought
And I've been [A] sitting here [Em] thinking about the twenty [E] pounds of groceries we bought
[Em] We bought [E] ten pounds of brown rice [Em] and [C] five [E] more of [A] beans
And five pounds of [B] [Em] granola and you know what that means
I'm just a regular fellow with a chicken cordon [B] bleu
[E] Now [G] I want you to play me them fat licks
[Em] [Gm] [G]
[C] [Gm] [Em] [G] [C]

[E] [Am] [D] [G]
[C] [G] [D] [C]
[F#m] I'm [C] starved for affection and babe, I can't take no more
You know this stuff is so weird that the cockroaches move next door
[G] [C] Babe, can you see that old dog?
[Am] He's out in the street
[F] He's got a [G] big smile on his face cause they let him eat meat
[C] And [Am] babe, I [D] got the [Am] lemon and [G] the chicken [C] cordon bleu
[Dm] [C]
[G] Babe, [C]
I'm going down to the bakery and I'm gonna find me a jelly roll
And [Am] some cannoli, some [C] French pastry
A [G] chocolate eclair [C] don't sound too bad
How [Gm] [A] [C]
about some lasagna?
[G] [Am]
You [Gm] know fat [C] is where it's [D#] at
[Dm] [C] [N]
