( 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 or bulgar wheat
But a big warm bun and 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
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 mustard 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
I need a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in
paradise
