VERSE 1:
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 G
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 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 Im just a Cheeseburger in paradise

G A D
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
