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, fettuccini, or bulgur 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.
|
|
I like mine with lettuce and tomato,
|
Heinz Fifty-seven 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.
|
|
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.
|
|
But times have changed for sailors these days.
|
When I'm in port I get what I need;
|
Not just Havanas or banana or daiquiris,
|
But that American creation on which I feed!
|
|
Cheeseburger is paradise medium rare with mustard'd be nice
|
Not too particular, not too precise
|
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 draught beer
|
Well, good god Almighty which way do I steer
|
|
For a 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.
