Jimmy Buffett - Cheeseburger In Paradise Lyrics
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
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
But times have changed 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
Cheeseburger in paradise
Medium rare with mustard'd be nice
Heaven on Earth with an onion slice
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?

Jimmy Buffett Cheeseburger In Paradise Comments
mmmmmmmmmmmm love em
Am I the only one who re-listened to this like 10 times?
My teacher showed us this.
I already know I love this song writer.
To this day, this is the worst f***ing song I’ve ever heard.
Why? this song is amazing
AIDS burger in paradise
Fun fact! This iconic song was based off a little Island near Captiva and Sanibel, Florida that is near Bokeelia, Florida, and Gasparilla, Florida, that is right across the Water from Cayo Costa, and Useppa, called Cabbage Key that sits in the middle of the Pine Island Sound, which is in Lee County, Florida near St. James City on the Gulf Coast near Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Punta Gorda. They have “Cheeseburgers” in Cabbage Key that you can Dock your Boat to, and walk up a little hill to enjoy lunch at! Cabbage Key also has a “Water Tower” that you can go to the top of to get a spectacular view of the area from.
Discovered this song because of How I Met Your Mother. It was referenced amd how to see what this was all about it. This is hilarious.
😂🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How drunk do you have to be to write this song
Searr threatened to make Google an all women working space and arrest men programs that were really
I don't know why white people r afraid of me all the time to live on my own
I got fucking neighborhoods that canbolist next door too afraid of me
Cutty saves live at Google for his safety and exspose this canbolist ring at Google
She took them hostages and ate them at Google apartment buildings in 2010
That why I was loyal to Queen while Michael Collins started his treaty
I was at more bars than Michael Collins
I was at bars in Ireland especially DUBLIN buy my self
Zucchini fettuccine sounds pretty good tbh
I’m so excited I am gonna see him this year in July I won tickets 🎫 😻 2020 guys
Eric Cartman: Fuck you Jimmy Buffett! You fucking suck!!
Amen brother
Yeah

Oooooo yeaaaa
That little boy has aids
And that ain't nice.
“AIDS burger in paradise” — “AIDS burger and it ain’t nice”
Another south park fan I am guessing
Cheeseburger solo lol
I never got to your bar sat in the fuck face bar on broadway dumb ass Bobby's bar
Mrs. Kenny Chesney loves u 2
Cheeseburger in chicago illinois
this South Park shiz got me Rollin for years
Im loving it. No im not. Well, her you enjoy
Yo high rant
The man in the song is really in a paradise on Earth like the Caribbean or Papau New Guinea and totally loving it and appreciating it but he's also glad that even thousands of miles away still find Positive American Influence like a cheeseburger. This is in no way condescending I'm only explaining this because I like people to know what I'm thinking. Americans do have a luxury of finding a little piece of home almost everywhere but politics aside is our culture really that bad? I know history has been fucked up but the American dream is freedom and FREEDOM is beauty. 🇺🇸
Lahaina Maui Restaurant
I miss you Dearly !!!
Aidsburger in heaven. Love it
How did we get here
Can we take a moment to acknowledge how beautiful the video go’s with the song
Synth you mama
Ok boomer
I love a good swiss...melted swiss cheese and mush- roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions on a burger, uhh, that is hot stuff. You can get that at a number of different places.
wtf is happening
This reminds me of holidays in Orlando in the 90s
🔥👣👍😂
Now they make new movies in old black and white
With happy endings, where nobody fights
So if you find yourself in that nostalgic rage
Honey, jump right up and show your age
I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind
A two toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
I remember bein' buck-toothed and skinny
Writin' fan letters to Sky's niece Penny
Oh I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could solve some mysteries too
Then it's Bandstand, Disneyland, growin' up fast
Drinkin' on a fake I.D.
Yeah, and Rama of the jungle was everyone's Bawana
But only jazz musicians were smokin' marijuana
Yeah, I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could solve some mysteries too
Then it's flat top, dirty bob, coppin' a feel
Grubbin' on the livin' room floor (so sore)
Yeah, they send you off to college, try to gain a little knowledge,
But all you want to do is learn how to score
Yeah, but now I'm gettin' old, don't wear underwear
I don't go to church and I don't cut my hair
But I can go to movies and see it all there
Just the way that it used to be
That's why I wish I had a pencil thin mustache
The "Boston Blackie" kind
A two-toned Ricky Ricardo jacket
And an autographed picture of Andy Devine
Oh, I could be anyone I wanted to be
Maybe suave Errol Flynn or the Sheik of Araby
If I only had a pencil thin mustache
Then I could do some cruisin' too
Yeah, Bryl-cream, a little dab'll do yah
Oh, I could do some cruisin' too
Fuckin boomer music
Synthcool?
Juiceboi PRO yep
Le Select Bar St Barth
WWG1WGA ..
...pep band
i like the pictures :)
Pity his restaurant of the same name is no longer here in the Chicago area and other places.
Think he must have been a fan of Freddie Boom Boom Cannon's Tallahassee Lassie when writing this song.
Most brutal break down of all time 1:47
I got a McDonald's ad before this video for some reason.
Tony Stark’s favorite song.
"I get that reference"
After i saw that part, i told my girlfriend we have to go to b.k. and get an American Cheeseburger!!
Just a well cultured 17 year old cruising through, don't mind me... 😁
This music is awful🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally! A Buffett buffet tune with more meat!!! (And less taste!). 😋
I thought this song was just a fever dream of mine
the song of my people.
Aids burger lol
And that! is The only way to eat a hamburger. For me hoped the cheese till it melts, I don't care I don't want it. Just lettuce and tomatoes. How else can you taste the meat. I like my burger no smaller than a C cup
0:55 what did sanders do wrong?
AIDS Burgers in PARADISE AIDS Burgers feels so nice.
RIP old man i miss u
Can't eat a burger without listening to this.
Just heard on XM radio, straight from Jimmys mouth, that he wrote this song after a two week long sail trip. He said it wasnt a glamorous trip, and they arrived back into port exhausted after 14 days. They found a little bar and ordered a burger and beer and that day he wrote this song. Not an extravagant story, but cool to know how Jimmy gets his inspo.
I love this song
si eres de cobach tecate conga tu madre jajaks
what the??????
All these years i knew this song. Never had a clue who did it.
The radio of a Florida grandmother
i just had two CheeseBurger's for Dinner.
Yummy song.
cool,awesome video.
National Cheeseburger Day Wednesday September 18th brought me here 😁😆😅🍔⛱️🎶🎵🎶
Deer meat is best
All the hates are from Gordon Ramsey!
Came here because of comedian Dan Soders bit about his alcoholic dead dads final words possibly being "I LIKE MINE WITH LETTUCE AND TOMATA"...i can't believe this song actually exists.
You dancing with Uncle Jr ::wink:: miss you
RIK Stumpt
Never forget boomer front :(
I can't help but feel the Spongebob Musical really missed an opportunity to get Jimmy involved with making music for it.
This song is about enjoying the fruits of human trafficking and child sex slavery Google Jeffery Epstein Jimmy buffet
1978 Was a good year!
I feel like this is Weird Al but at the same time I feel like this isn’t Weird Al
Anthony it doesn’t kind of sound like it could be an Al song. But we all know it’s not.
Listened to this with my Impossible Whopper meal today!
This is a beautiful song
this is still the most endearing video of all time
This song makes me want to go to Five Guys.
Denny's cheese burger is the best. A bit messy but good
MY CHILDHOOD!!!
Endgame spoilers without context
In Cincinnati jimmy likes his with Lettuce and tomato, and some of that skyline chili.
boomer_front rip
Who else is here from the book series Treasure Hunters?
🤤🤤🤤
Randy bo banders brought me here
Last year my mom took me and my brother on vacation to Martha’s Vineyard with a couple of other family members and my cousin who was 6 at the time would blast this every morning and would wake me and my brother up
RIP Boomer Front
0:49 悪意を感じるw
