Maximum Consumption (2022 Remaster) The Kinks

[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 pеrformer
High powered machinе
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
