Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger In Paradise Lyrics
Cheeseburger in paradiseBy: jimmy buffett1978Tried to amend my carnivorous habitsMade it nearly seventy daysLosin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seedsDrinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up raysBut at night i'd had these wonderful dreamsSome kind of sensuous treatNot zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheatBut a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meatChorus: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 paradiseHeard about the old time sailor menThey eat the same thing again and againWarm beer and bread they said could raise the deadWell it reminds me of the menu at a holiday innTimes have changed for sailors these daysWhen i'm in port i get what i needNot just havanas or bananas or daiquirisBut that american creation on which i feedChorus: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 paradiseI like mine with lettuce and tomatoHeinz 57 and french fried potatoesBig kosher pickle and a cold draft beerWell good god almighty which way do i steer for myChorus: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 paradiseTo be a cheeseburger in paradiseI'm just a cheeseburger in paradiseCoda:I like mine with lettuce and tomatoHeinz 57 and french fried potatoesBig kosher pickle and a cold draft beerWell good god almighty which way do i steer for my- notes:Background vocals: deborah mccoll, penny nichols, lea jane berinati,Janie fricke, ginger holladay
