Once upon a time, I was a noisy eater

I′m hungry, I want something to eat

Something with a crunch and very sweetJust woke up so you know the scenario

I'm craving cereal like Cheerios

Maybe frosted flakes, I might munch

But what popped in my mind is Captain Crunch

So I went to the kitchen to freak my choice

In my stomach I heard a voice

It said: "Please feed me, my tank is on empty

I′m seeing things, so please don't tempt me"

So I said "okay", and got my bowl

Got my milk and cereal, made sure it was cold

Sat down at the table and said my grace

Because I knew what was about to take place

"Yum yum, eat 'em up", my belly said

The crunches so loud everybody jumped out they bed!

Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly

He got ju-ju eyeballs, he′s one holy roller, he′s got

Did you ever know a noisy eater?

Now it's lunchtime, and I′m hungry again

I don't know where I should begin

Maybe I′ll get some super salmon, mmm that's good

I don′t want no chicken, it tastes like wood

But I have to have some chips, ones that crunch

So you can hear me go 'munch, munch, munch'

Some old lady tapped me on the shoulder out of a crowd

And said "Quiet down Biz, you munching too loud!"

Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly

He got ju-ju eyeballs, he′s one holy roller, he′s got

Well excuse me, um, um, well excuse me, um

Well excuse me, um, um, well excuse me

Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly

He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller, he′s got...

Quiet down Biz, you munching too loud!

Mmm, that's good!

They all thought I had stopped

And where′s the gravy?

No matter!
