Karaoke Cheeseburger in Paradise 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 fettuccini or bulgur 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 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 bananas or daiquiris

But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in paradise medium rare with mustard'd be nice

Heaven on earth with an onion slice

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 draught 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

To be a cheeseburger in paradise

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 draught beer

Well good God almighty which way do I steer
