Tried to amend my carnivorous habits
G         A             D
Made it nearly seventy days
G              A                       D
Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds
 E                                 A
Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays

G             A             D
But at night I'd had these wonderful dreams
G          A           D
Some kind of sensuous treat
      G         D             G      D
Not zuchinni, fettucini or bulghar wheat
       G       D        A              D
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Heaven on earth with an onion slice (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

I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

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)
Makin' the best of every virtue and vice (paradise)

To get a cheeseburger in paradise
To be 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 for my
