Lyrics transcribed from the April 15, 1995 performance at Park West in Chicago.
Based on other live versions of which there are recordings, the order of the verses could be a bit fluid and the end part was improvised each time.

Lyrics

Well, just direct me to the cheese
You and I will have a breeze
There's no more that we can't seize
You know that I was born to cheese you

Well, just direct me to the cheese
I just got here from Belize
You got a label I could squeeze?
You know that I was born to cheese you

Well a mountain of time
Is a mountain of dirt
Unless you've got some cheese in your grasp
You don't have to be bashful
Just slip up to the counter and ask
Why don't you....

Just direct me to the cheese
Madame you are on my knees
I feel so good about you please
You know that I was born to cheese you

Well, just direct me to the cheese
Honey, you and I are bees
We're buzzing around the dairy products in the breeze
You know that I was born to cheese you

I was born and raised and educated
Solely for the purpose of cheesing you in my hive
Here come the fish lights
Here come the fog lights
Here come the fog lights
Here come the fish lights
Here come the cheese lights

Bring me my....
Bring me some opium and a divan, baby
And get your wrapper off
