Cheeseburger In Paradise |
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 |
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise) |
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise) |
Not too particular not too precise (paradise) |
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise |
Heard about the old time sailor men |
They eat the same thing again and again |
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead |
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn |
Times have changed for sailors these days |
When I’m in port I get what I need |
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris |
But that American creation on which I feed |
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise) |
Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise) |
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise) |
I’m just a cheeseburger in paradise |
I like mine with lettuce and tomato |
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 |
Coda: |
I like mine with lettuce and tomato |
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 |
