1. 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.

 

G                A            D               G               A                  D

    Cheeseburger in paradise, Heaven on Earth with an onion slice,

  G             A           D                                   - G               D            A     D

not too particular, not too precise, I'm just a     Cheeseburger in paradise.

2. Heard about the old time sailor men,

                          G                  A              D

    they eat the same thing again and again.

        G                       A               D

    Warm beer and bread, they said, could raise the dead,

                     E                                         A

    well, it reminds me of the menu at a Holiday Inn.

           G                   A                D

    But times have changed for sailors these days,

               G                 A              Bm

    when I'm in port I get what I need,

                       G                D             G     D

    not just Havanas or bananas or daiquiris,

                       G             D               A        D

    but that American creation on which I feed.

 

G                A             D              G          A              D

    Cheeseburger in Paradise, medium rare with mustard be nice,

   G                A                 D

Heaven on Earth with an onion slice,

               - G                D             A    D

I'm just a       Cheeseburger in Paradise.

    Big kosher pickle and a cold draft beer,

G                A             D              G              A                  D

    Cheeseburger in Paradise, makin' the best of every virtue and vice,

   G                A                 D

worth every damn bit of sacrifice to get a

G                D                A D                  - G               D             A     D

    Cheeseburger in Paradise, I need a      Cheeseburger in Paradise,

                - G                D             A     D

I'm just a        Cheeseburger in Paradise.
