Maximum Consumption

Written by Ray Davies

	  		
verse 1 

          G                  D           G 
I'll have some clam chowder, followed by beef steak on rye 
C            D 
Pumpkin pie, whipped cream and coffee, 
G                   D 
I wanna green salad on the side, 
G                       D 
Don't forget the french fries, 
C          D             G 
Pizza pie, garlic and anchovie. 
C#     D                                                  E 
I keep burning up calories as fast as I keep putting them down, 
D         E 
Eat food, put it in my mouth, 
D           E                  C  D 
Chew it up, swallow it down, 
          G         D           G 
I'll have two eggs, over light, home made apple pie 
C         D         G        C# 
Cole slaw as a side order. 
        G                                           C        D             G 
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, eat food to sustain a non-stop high-grade performer. 
D                                             E 
The pace is continual, sure keeps running me down 
D                       E 
Don't you know that you gotta eat food, 
D                       E                    C#   D 
Don't you know that you gotta refuel. 
     G          C          G           C 
I'm a Maximum Consumption, super-grade performer. 
G            C          G 
High powered machine, 
    C 
Go steady on my clutch, go easy on the hills 
           G             C              G      C 
And you'll get a lot of mileage out of me. 
      D                          C 
I'm so easy to drive, and I'm an excellent ride,

G                        C  D  G            D  C  D    C# 

verse 2 
    D                                  E 
Excessive living sure keeps running me down 
D                              E 
You've got to learn to use the Maximum Juice 
D                      E              C  D  E 
That's how you get the maximum use. 
G                                         C             D          G 
Life keeps using me, keeps on abusing me, mentally and physically. 
                  D           G         C#      C        D          G 
I gotta stay fit, stay alive, need fuel inside, eat food to survive 
D                                        E 
Maximum Consumption sure keeps running me down 
D                       E 
Don't you know that you gotta eat food 
D                        E                C  D  E 
Don't you know that it's good for you. 
G                C 
I'm a Maximum Consumption, 
Non-stop machine 
G          C 
Total automation perpetual motion.
