Cheeseburger In Paradise
2
By: Jimmy Buffett
3
1978
4
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
5
Made it nearly seventy days
6
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
7
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
8
But at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
9
Some kind of sensuous treat
10
Not zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheat
11
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
12
Chorus:
13
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
14
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
15
Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
16
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
17
Heard about the old time sailor men
18
They eat the same thing again and again
19
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
20
Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn
21
Times have changed for sailors these days
22
When I'm in port I get what I need
23
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
24
But that American creation on which I feed
25
Chorus:
26
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
27
Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise)
28
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
29
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
30
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
31
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
32
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
33
Well good God Almighty which way do I steer for my
34
Chorus:
35
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
36
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
37
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
38
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
39
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
40
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
41
Coda:
42
I like mine with lettuce and tomato
43
Heinz 57 and french fried potatoes
44
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
45
Well good God Almighty which way do I steer for my
