IS THE WORLD GETTING YOU DOWN TODAY?   CHEESEBURGER IN PARADISE  Tried to amend my carnivorous habits. Made it nearly seventy days, Losin* weight without speed, eatin* sunflower seeds, Drinkin* lots of carrot juice and soakin* up rays. But at night I*d have these wonderful dreams Some kind of sensuous treat. Not zucchini, fettuccini, or bulgur 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 old time sailor men, They eat the same thing again and again; Warm beer and bread they say could raise the dead. Well it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn. Times 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 mustard*d be nice Heaven on earth with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise 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 Makin* the best of every virtue and vice. Worth every damn bit of sacrifice 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 animated Cheeseburger .gifs by FReeper potlatch music by Jimmy Buffet
