Intro - BmABmGBmADGAD
Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
GAD
Made it nearly seventy days
GAD
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
EA
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays
GAD
But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams
GABm
Some kind of sensuous treat
GDGD
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat
GDAD
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat
GAD
Cheeseburger in paradise
GAD
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
GAD
Not too particular, not too precise
GDADBmAD
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 change 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
Medium rare with mustard be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise
(Guitar Tacet)
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
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
