VERSES
When I am sad and hungry and my need is truly great,
I seek the one redeemer who has never made me wait. 
Then through those golden arches I'm transported instantly.
You are my all-beef savoir who so swiftly comforts me.
CHORUS
Oh the hamburger, oh the hamburger
Of everything I've tried
Oh the hamburger is swiftest when I must be satisfied.

You can talk about your chicken, your pizza and the rest,
But the hamburger is peerless when convenience is the test.
I'll step up to the altar and then you'll hear me say
"I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today."
CHORUS

It's true my friends, the hamburger has made the body whole
But where is there the burger that can satisfy the soul?
I hunger for enlightenment, Oh lord now hear my plea
I'd pay you almost anything to have it instantly.
CHORUS

Life has many questions to confuse and to confound.
The modern man is thus perplexed and vexed the whole year round.
There's what and who and why and where and there's the dreaded how.
But when has got answer and that answer, friends, is now.
CHORUS

19
