Young man, don't be down on your knees
I said, young man, pick yourself up some cheese
I said, young man, 'cause your in a new town
There's no need to be so hungry
Young man, there's a place you can go
I said, young man, when resources are low
They will feed you, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways you can freely dine.

It's fun to eat from the U.S.D.A.

You can chow down with all the boys.

Young man, Are you listening to me
I said, young man, what do you want to eat?
I said, young man, you can make real good meals,
but you've got to do this one thing.

Oh man, this is good for your health
I said, though man, it's expired on the shelf
You must go there, to the U.S.D.A.
I'm sure they can help you today

Young Man, I don't mean to sound rude,
I said, I was down and out with no food
I felt, no man cared if I were deprived
Thanks to Uncle Sam I survived

That's 'cause someone came up to me
and said, "young man take a walk up the street
There's a program called the U.S.D.A.
They can send a few cans your way."
