Lyrics:Jimmy Buffett Music:Jimmy Buffett Tried to amend my carnivorous habit Made it nearly seventy days Losin' weight without speed, eatin' sunflower seeds Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and soakin' up rays Night I'd have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat Not Havanas or bananas or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed Chorus: Cheeseburger is 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 Taylor man He eat the same thing again and again Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead Reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn Times 've changed for sailors these days When I'm in port I get what I need Not Havanas or bananas or daiquiris But that American creation on which I feed. Chorus: Cheeseburger is paradise (paradise) Medium rare with mustard '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 , French fried potatoes Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer Well good God Almighty which way do I steer Chorus: Cheeseburger in paradise (paradise) Heaven on earth with an onion slice (paradise) Worth every damn bit of sacrifice (paradise) To get a cheeseburger in paradise I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise To be a cheeseburger in paradise
