[Verse 1]

I'll have some clam chowder, followed by

Beefsteak on rye

Pumpkin pie, whipped cream, and coffee

I wanna green salad on the side

Don't forget the french fries

Pizza pie, garlic, and anchovy

I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down

Eat food, put it in my mouth

Chew it up, swallow it down

[Verse 2]

I'll have two eggs, over light

Homemade apple pie

Coleslaw as a side order

I gotta stay fit, stay alive

Eat food to sustain a

Non-stop high-grade performer

The pace is continual, sure keeps running me down

Don't you know that you gotta eat food?

Don't you know that you gotta refuel?

[Chorus]

I'm a Maximum Consumption

Super-grade performer

High powered machine

Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hills

And you'll get a lot of mileage out of me

I'm so easy to drive (And I'm an excellent ride)

("Dave Davies on lead guitar!")

Excessive living sure keeps running me down

You've got to learn to use the Maximum Juice

That's how you get the maximum use

[Verse 3]

Life keeps using me

Keeps on abusing me

Mentally and physically

I gotta stay fit, stay alive

Need fuel inside

Eat food to survive

Maximum Consumption sure keeps running me down

Don't you know that you gotta eat food?

Don't you know that it's good for you?

[Outro]

I'm a Maximum Consumption

Non-stop machine

Total automation

Perpetual motion
