Cheeseburger in Paradise

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur wheat But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat [Chorus 1] Cheeseburger in paradise Heaven on earth with an onion slice Not too particular, not too precise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise [Verse 3] Heard about the old-time sailor men They eat the same thing again and again Warm beer and bread, they say, could raise the dead Well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 2] Cheeseburger in paradise Medium rare with Muenster'd be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise [Bridge] 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? [Chorus 3] 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 [Refrain] To be a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise [Bridge] 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?
