Cheeseburger In Paradise

Cheeseburger In Paradise (Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett

Written by：Jimmy Buffett/Norbert Putnam

Tried to amend my carnivorous habit

Made it nearly seventy days

Losing weight without speed eating sunflower seeds

Drinking lots of carrot juice and soaking up rays

But at night I'd have these wonderful dreams

Some kind of sensuous treat

Not zucchini fettucini or bulgur wheat

But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

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'd 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 have changed for sailors these days

When I'm in port I get what I need

Not just Havanas or banana or daiquiris

But that American creation on which I feed

Cheeseburger in paradise paradise

Medium rare with Muenster'd 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

Cheeseburger in paradise paradise

Making the best of every virtue and vice paradise

Worth every d**n bit of sacrifice paradise

To get a cheeseburger in paradise

Get me a cheeseburger in 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
