Oh, in the daytime I\'m Mr. Natural, just as healthy as I can be But at night I\'m a junk food junkie, good Lord have pity on me  Well at lunchtime you can always find me at the whole earth vitamin bar Just sucking on my plain white yoghurt from a hand-thrown pottery jar And sipping little hand-pressed cider with a carrot stick for dessert And wiping my face—in a natural way—on the sleeve of my peasant shirt But when that clock strikes midnight and I\'m all by myself I work that combination on my secret hide-away shelf I pull out some Fritos corn chips, Dr. Pepper and an old moon pie And I sit back in glorious expectation of a genuine junk food high  My friends down at the commune they think I\'m pretty neat I don\'t know nothing \'bout arts and crafts* but I give them all something to eat I\'m a friend to old Euell Gibbons and I only eat homegrown spice I\'ve got a John Keats autographed Grecian urn filled up with my brown rice Oh, but lately I\'ve been spotted** with a Big Mac on my breath Stumbling into a Colonel Sanders with a face as white as death I\'m afraid some day they\'ll find me just stretched out on my bed With a handful of Pringle\'s potato chips and a Ding Dong by my head!  *or as my brother used to call it at camp: arts and farts **scented'
