Cheese

My Mama told me ’bout the four basic food groups
Milk, dairy, bread, fruits and vegetables
I learned them religiously and tried hard to have ’em
If not for every meal then every day
A balanced diet is awfully important
For instance, fish, a roll, some milk, and peas
But ohhhhh
On the road all I eat is cheese

Cheese cheese cheese cheese cheeeeese (2x)
Cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese, cheese
On the road all I eat is cheese

Something sharp like gruyere
Can be absolutely stunning
But last week I had Monterrey jack
Five days running
Every now and then I say
“And some crackers please”
But usually all I eat is cheese

Now maybe baby you can come with me
On some of my great adventures
Every now and then I’ll stop for a while
In Paris or London or Rome
We can have some caviar in San Tropez
I have a flat I’ll leave you the keys
But ohhhh,
On the road all I eat is cheese

Cheese cheese cheese cheese cheeeeese (2x)
Cheese cheese cheese cheese cheese
On the road all I eat is cheese
