“Weird Al” Phones It In

“Hamburger in Paradise”
(To tune of Jimmy Buffet’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise”)

Hamburger in paradise
Sesame seed bun with an onion slice
A burger WITHOUT cheese would be nice
It’s just a HAMburger in paradise!

“Bream”
(To tune of the Everly Brothers’ “All I Have to Do Is Dream”)

Breeeeeam
Bream bream breeam
Breeeeeam
Bream bream breeam
Whenever I want FISH, all I have to do is eat breeeam.

“Goodbye England’s Pizza”
(To tune of Elton John’s “Goodbye England’s Rose” (which was to the tune of Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” (which was to the tune of Bo Diddley’s “Goodbye Bo Diddley”)))

Goodbye England’s Pizza!
Though we never ordered you at all
We wanted pepperoni
But you just had anchovies!!!
(Kazoo solo)
