Cheeseburger in Paradise
By Jimmy Buffett



  Intro - Bm A Bm G Bm A  D   

 	   G          A        D
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 have these wonderful dreams
G            A           Bm
Some kind of sensuous treat 
       G           D         G      D      
Not zucchini, fettucini or bulgar wheat 
      G         D            A            D 
But a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat

Chorus:
      G    A         D
     Cheeseburger in paradise
     G         A              D  
     Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
     G          A          D             
     Not too particular, not too precise
                G     D         A    D   Bm A D
     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

But times change for sailors these days
When I'm in port I get what I need
Not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris
But that American creation on which I feed

Chorus:
     Cheeseburger in Paradise
     Medium rare with mustard be nice
     Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise

(Guitar Tacet)
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   

Chorus:
     Cheeseburger in Paradise
     Makin' the best of every virtue and vice
     Worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a 
     Cheeseburger in Paradise 
     I need a Cheeseburger in Paradise
     I'm just a Cheeseburger in Paradise
