Junk Food Junkie by Larry Groce
#9 in 1976
Capo 4
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
C F C
You know I love that organic cooking, I always ask for more
C C/B A D G
And they call me Mr. Natural on down to the health food store
C F C
I only eat good sea salt, white sugar don't touch my lips
C C/B A D G C
And my friends is always begging me to take them on macrobiotic trips
Am
Yes, they are
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am
Oh, but at night I take out my strongbox, that I keep under lock and key
Am B E
And I take it off to my closet where nobody else can see
Am Dm Am C/B
I open that door so slowly, take a peek up north and south
C C/B A D G C
Then I pull out a Hostess Twinkie and I pop it in my mouth
[Chorus]
F C G C
Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural, just as healthy as I can be
C C/B Am E Am C/B C G C
But at night I'm a junk food junkie, good Lord have pity on me
[Verse 3]
C F C
Well, at lunchtime you can always find me at the Whole Earth Vitamin Bar
C C/B A D G
Just sucking on my plain white yogurt from my hand thrown pottery jar
C F C
And sippin' a little hand-pressed cider with a carrot stick for dessert
C C/B A D G C
And wiping my face in a natural way on the sleeve of my peasant shirt
Am
Oh yeah!
[Verse 4]
Am Dm Am
Ah, but when that clock strikes midnight and I'm all by myself
Am B E
I work that combination on my secret hideaway shelf
Am Dm Am C/B
And I pull out some Fritos corn chips, Dr. Pepper, and a ol' Moon Pie
C C/B A D G C
Then I sit back in glorious expectation, of a genuine junk food high
[Chorus]
F C G C
Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural, just as healthy as I can be
C C/B Am E Am C/B C G C
But at night I'm a junk food junkie, good Lord have pity on me
[Verse 5]
C F C
My friends down at the commune, they think I'm pretty neat
C C/B A D G
Oh, I don't know nothing about arts and crafts but I give 'em all something to eat
C F C
I'm a friend to old Euell Gibbons and I only eat homegrown spice
C C/B A D G C
I got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn filled up with my brown rice
Am
Yes, I do
[Verse 6]
Am Dm Am
Oh, folks, but lately I have been spotted with a Big Mac on my breath
Am B E
Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders with a face as white as death
Am Dm Am C/B
I'm afraid someday they'll find me just stretched out on my bed
C C/B A D G C
With a handful of Pringles Potato Chips and a Ding Dong by my head
[Chorus]
F C G C
Yeah, in the daytime I'm Mr. Natural, just as healthy as I can be
C C/B Am E Am
But at night I'm a junk food junkie, good Lord have pity on me
