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 had these wonderful dreams
    Some kind of sensuous treat
    Not zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheat
    But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

    Chorus:
    Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
    Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
    Not too particular not too precise (paradise)
    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

    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:
    Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
    Medium rare with mustard 'be nice (paradise)
    Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
    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

    Chorus:
    Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
    Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)
    Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
    To get a cheeseburger in paradise
    To be a cheeseburger in paradise
    I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

    Coda:
    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
