Lyrics

He wants it to be "Cheers" but I'm afraid it's going to be "Margaritaville"

Cheeseburgers in Friendship Heights

Catering to new epicurean habits
Straying far from those newspaper days
Serving up some lamb speedies, and La Cheeserie
Connie Chung has got your tab and, hey, Junior’s clearing trays

So instead of all those Pulitzer dreams
You want to entice the media elite
With a martini, some linguini, please no kale or beets
Maybe that son of yours can smoke some meat

Cheeseburgers in Friendship Heights
Got the Blue Apron recipe for jasmine rice
A jersey from Ovie, one with pinstripes from Bryce
Come get a cheeseburger in Friendship Heights

They make fries like those in bowling alleys
Rascals on the jukebox right next to Frankie Valli
Coach Gary’s hawking sweatshirts, Maury’s serving beers
Well, good god almighty this won’t last the year

Who needs cheeseburgers in Friendship Heights
Alan pounding Dewar’s, likes ‘em neat (that’s no ice)
Better damn well get ready to pay full price
For those cheeseburgers in Friendship Heights
I said cheeseburgers in in Friendship Heights
Yes that’s cheeseburgers in in Friendship Heights
