Lyrics

CHEESEBURGER EASTERNS

I had one fortune cookie too many;
I burped and got most of my movies crossed.
One minute I was seeing Jack Benny
In a spaceship from the land of the lost.

The next moment there was Charlton Heston,
Looking a lot like 007.
He was being chased by Sergeant Preston,
Taking Ten Commandments back to heaven.

?What?s your hurry? You know heaven can wait!?
Said a pretty woman with Beatty eyes,
Waltzing around yodeling, ?Kiss Me, Kate,?
And ?Word is bond; tomorrow never dies.?
Stuck inside a Quai Chang Cain mutiny,
With Dick Tracy, the old man, and the sea.
The Jaws of Life can never pull me free
From this Tarzan and Jane calamity.
Spaghetti westerns
Are just fine for some ?
Straight from Italy.
Cheeseburger easterns
In the L.A. sun
Are just right for me.
Another burp, another face appeared,
Stuck inside of a kung fu chop-em-up.
Young Clint Eastwood was the man to be feared;
Old Yeller was a lonely Chinese pup.

Lee and Shane duked it out on Cold Mountain;
Nicholson sang ?Get Back? and ?Let It Be,?
?Hail to the Chief, ?Three Coins in the Fountain.?
Bronson bellowed, ?It looks like rain to me!?

I saw Reynolds rap and give Fred a stare
That could topple six or seven gables.
Arnold stroked a French play while he was there,
Though he pronounced it ?Less Miser-ables.?

Stuck inside a Quai Chang Cain mutiny,
With Dick Tracy, the old man, and the sea.
The Jaws of Life can never pull me free
From this Tarzan and Jane calamity.

Spaghetti westerns
Are just fine for some -
Straight from Italy.
Cheeseburger easterns
In the L.A. sun
Are just right for me.

Marvin gardened, asked The Rock for fifty.
Tupac replied bluntly, ?Have a forty!?
Simon said, ?I don?t carry Grants on me.
Catch twenty-two on Garfunkel?s sortie.?

Monroe?s muffled voice and her Midas touch
Worked while the San Luis Rey bells did toll.
Tiny Tim gave Heidi a golden crutch;
Crosby crooned, ?Five more and you get egg roll.?

Rocky called to E.T., ?Yo, Alien!?
Mel played guitar, a Gibson wide body.
Tom cruised by with all the President?s men.
Hepburn sat on a tin roof, a real hottie.

Stuck inside of a Quai Chang Cain mutiny,
With Dick Tracy, the old man, and the sea.
The Jaws of Life can never pull me free
From this Tarzan and Jane calamity.

Spaghetti westerns
Are just fine for some -
Straight from Italy.
Cheeseburger easterns
In the L.A. sun
Are just right for me.
