Tried to a[G]mend my car[A]nivorous ha[D]bits
[G]Made it nearly [A]seventy da[D]ys
Losin' we[G]ight without s[A]peed, eatin' sun[D]flower seeds
[E]Drinkin' lots of carrot juice and [A]soakin' up rays
But at [G]night I'd [A]have these w[D]onderful [G]dreams
[G]Some kind of [A]sensuous tre[Bm]at
Not zuc[G]chini, fettu[D]cini or bu[G]lgar w[D]heat
But a [G]big warm b[D]un and a h[A]uge hunk of m[D]eat
Chorus:----------------------------------------------------------------
C[G]heese[A]burger in [D]paradise
[G]Heaven on [A]Earth with an o[D]nion slice
[G]Not too par[A]ticular, no[D]t too precise
I'm just a [G]Cheese[D]burger in [A]parad[D]ise
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bm |||| A | D |
Heard abou[G]t the old t[A]ime sailor [D]men
[G]They eat the sa[A]me thing a[D]gain and again
Warm beer[G] and bread the[A]y said could rai[D]se the dead
[E]Well it reminds me of the menu at [A]a Holiday Inn

But tim[G]es change,[A] sailors the[D]se days[G]
[G]When I'm in p[A]ort I get wh[Bm]at I need
Not jus[G]t Havanas or[D] bananas o[G]r daiq[D]uiris
But th[G]at America[D]n creation[A] on which I f[D]eed

Chorus:
Che[G]esebu[A]rger in Pa[D]radise
Med[G]ium rare w[A]ith mustard be [D]nice
Hea[G]ven on Eart[A]h with an o[D]nion slice
I'm just a C[G]heeseb[D]urger in P[A]aradi[D]se
