| Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
|
| Made it nearly seventy days
|
| Losin’weight without speed, eatin’sunflower seeds
|
| Drinkin’lots of carrot juice and soakin’up rays
|
| But at night I’d had these wonderful dreams
|
| Some kind of sensuous treat
|
| Not zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheat
|
| But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

|
| Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise)
|
| Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
|
| I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise
|

|
| Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
|
| Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
|
| Well good God Almighty which way do I steer for my Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
|
| Makin’the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
|
| Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
|
| To get a cheeseburger in paradise
|
| To be a cheeseburger in paradise
|
| I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise
