As recorded by The Police (From the 1993 Box MESSAGE IN A BOX: THE COMPLETE RECORDINGS) [Verse 1]
Am                            A                      Am
I likes to eat my friends and make no bones about it

                           A
I likes to eat my friends, I couldn't do without it

Am                             A
Ain't a man or poet, friend, I know just how you'll taste

     Am                                  A
Your limbs go sliding down my throat and never go to waste

     Am                                  A
Your death, of course, will sadden me, until I grok your essence

  Am                                    A
I know your life was not in vain when digestion is commencing

   Am                               A
Consider this a celebration and the deepest pact of friends

      Am                                 A                Gadd9
And I hope that you will dine on me when I come to an end
[Bridge] F#7 A7 B7 [Verse 2]
Am                                  A
Even friends may come to you with a new found revelation

    Am                              A
But think of it as life renewed and not their termination

     Am                            A
'To know you is to eat you" should be the code of lovers

      Am                                   A
Death brings the highest act of love preserved for one another
[Bridge] F#7 A7 B7 F#7 A7 B7 [Interlude] N.C. [Verse 3]
Am                           A
People say that what you are is only what you eat

       Am                                   A
And my friends become a part of me, oh well its then that life's complete

      Am                       A
To love you is to eat you, the act of love supreme

     Am                           A
Each one of us inside himself can appetize the dream
[Outro] F#7 A7 B7 F#7 A7 B7
