Cheeseburger In Paradise(in Album Son Of A Son Of A Sailor) Lyrics - Jimmy Buffett

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 bulgar wheat 

But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat 

Cheeseburger in paradise 

Heaven on earth with an onion slice 

Not too particular not too precise 

I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise

Heard about the oldtime 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 

Medium-rare with munster'd be nice 

Heaven on earth with an onion slice 

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 

Making the best of every virtue and vice 

Worth every damn bit of sacrifice 

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...
