Lyrics for Hunger Is From

Have you ever been hungry in the middle of the night? That happens to me sometimes And then I go raid the icebox For example, the other night I did that We had some leftover Welsh rarebit I found that, and a couple crackers And a piece of celery, and an olive, and I Sat down in the middle of the night I was very, very hungry Oh, it tasted so good You have no idea what it means sometimes In the middle of the night when you're Hungry like this And you have a little Something to tide you over 'til breakfast Mmm, I just It's one of my bad habits, actually I should, I shouldn't be up like this But I get so hungry Mmm It's silly to say this, but I look at a little olive like this Mmm And it tastes wonderful This has got a seed in it I like 'em pitted, too Then you don't have to worry about the stone Mmm That's why I do this Practically every night of the week Mmm, oh Not every night, but pretty near I keep worrying that I'm gonna get fat That's silly Mmm That's good celery Mmm Ah That was just about it Mmm, mmm I'm gonna have just a little bit more here I didn't wanna waste any Mmm And I'll finish off this cracker I wonder if the other end of this celery tastes good The top end tastes as good as the bottom end I think I'll eat the leaves Why not? Well, heh, guess I made my plate clean Mmm, mmm Well, I'll put this in the sink Maybe I'd better wash it up Eh, no, I'll just leave it there Now to go back to sleep Mmm, I sure can get hungry at night
