Lyrics

Cheeseburger in paradise
Jimmy buffett

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 have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not zucchini, fettucini, bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Cheeseburger is paradise
Heaven on earth with an onion slice
Not too particular, not too precise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Verse 2:
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

But 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, medium rare with muenster'd be nice
Heaven on earth with an onion slice
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
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice
To get a cheeseburger in paradise;
To be a cheeseburger in 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
