               G  
I'll have some clam chowder, followed by beef steak on rye
C            D                 G
Pumpkin pie, whipped cream and coffee,
        G
I wanna green salad on the side, Don't forget the french fries,
C          D          G
Pizza pie, garlic and anchovie.
       D                                                  Em
I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down,
D         G            Em    
Eat food, put it in my mouth,
D           G          Em                        
Chew it up, swallow it down,

          G 
I'll have two eggs, over light, home made apple pie
C         D         G
Cole slaw as a side order.
        G                                            C       D          G
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, eat food to sustain a non-stop high-grade 
performer.
    D                                        Em
The pace is continual, sure keeps running me down
D                       G         Em
Don't you know that you gotta eat food,
D                       G     Em
Don't you know that you gotta refuel.

      G       C            G           G
I'm a Maximum Consumption, super-grade performer.
G    C       G
High powered machine,
C            F          C              F
Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hills
    G            C      G              C      
And you'll get a lot of mileage out of me.
       D                         Em        G
I'm so easy to drive, and I'm an excellent ride,
D                                      Em
Excessive living sure keeps running me down
D                              Em      G
You've got to learn to use the Maximum Juice
D                      Em      G
That's how you get the maximum use.

G                                         C        D           G           
Life keeps using me, keeps on abusing me, mentally and physically.
            G                                   C           D    G
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, need fuel inside, eat food to survive
D                                         Em
Maximum Consumption sure keeps running me down
D                       Em        G
Don't you know that you gotta eat food
D                        Em       G
Don't you know that it's good for you.
      G       C
I'm a Maximum Consumption,
G        C
Non-stop machine
G     C          G         C
Total automation perpetual motion.
