I'm a hungry child in AMERICA and all I dream of is food
Eating chips and candy cookies every chance that comes
Surely doesn't help my hungry mood
Crying on mama's shoulder for a little more to eat
The small donuts that I  saw in the supermarket would be a great stomach
Treat.I'm hungry, so very hungry, hamburgers  fries steak with brown gravy are dancing before my eyes.Mama loves me, I know that she really
Cares,but she ate noodles every meal before my birth
So that's why I came out of her womb, impaired and hungry in the greatest country in the world and there are so many others like myself
Out in plain sight , many hungry boys and girls
Will the nightmare ever really end?  so hungry and tired of the gridlock between the President and both houses in Washington to mend.Can't they come together for my sake, and pretend to be friends
And not fool the Nation or me with their phony promises and lies
Just to get elected to office again, because I'm hungry
