Tried to amend
my carnivorous habits
Made it nearly seven 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
A huge hunk of meat
Cheeseburger in paradise
Heaven on Earth
with an onion slice
Not too particular
Not too precise
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
But it reminds me
of the menu at a Holiday lnn
Times have changed
for sailors these days
When I'm in port
I get what I need
Not just Havanas
or bananas or daquiris
But that American creation
on which I feed
Cheeseburger in paradise
Medium rare
with mustard would 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 ****
bit of sacrifice
Make it a
cheeseburger in paradise
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
