Ah, look at all the hungry people
Ah, look at all the hungry people

Mr. Lagasse, cooks up the rice and the beans with such fun and such flair
He's debonair
Stirs up some pasta, using the sauce that he keeps in the jar by the door
Look at it pour

All the hungry people
Where do they all come from?
Boston, Maine, and Jersey
And even from Hong Kong

Mister Lagasse, sprinkles some pepper on top and then calls out a "Bam"
he's such a ham
Look at him cooking, dressing a turkey or pheasant or even a bear
Well done or rare?

All the hungry people
Where do they all come from?
Phoenix, Dallas, Sydney
And even Washington

Ah, look at all the hungry people
Ah, look at all the hungry people

Mr. Lagasse, he loves the garlic and pork fat he eats with no shame
He isn't tame
Mr. Lagasse, washing his hands cause he knows that the germs can be grave
Audience raves

All the hungry people
Where do they all come from?
LA and Miami
And even from Hong Kong
