Night I'd have these wonderful dreams
Some kind of sensuous treat
Not Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Chorus:
Cheeseburger is 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 Taylor man
He eat the same thing again and again
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead
Reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn

Times 've changed for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed.

Chorus:
Cheeseburger is 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 , French fried potatoes
Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer
Well good God Almighty which way do I steer

Chorus:
Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise)
Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise)
Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise)
To get a cheeseburger in paradise
I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise
To be a cheeseburger in paradise
