## Lyrics

*Note: These lyrics are not officially confirmed by Jack and are interpreted by fans*

The **bolded** lyrics were included in the original short.

**[Verse 1]**

**On the side, or below it**

**No use counting, but it**

**There it was, below it**

**Only farther right**

Say grace and move on

And the kids are having children of their own

So you know (Know-know)

(What?) You know the recipe stays alive

(Bye! Bye! Bye!)

**[Chorus]**

**Oh, the Cheeseburger Family**

**Hand me down my suit and tie**

**Arigato family**

**I'll be dancing for dinner time**

Oh, the Cheeseburger Family

Hand me down my suit and tie

Arigato family

I'll be dancing for dinner time

[Refrain]

(Hey, what do ya know, tomato, tomato)

(What's the difference?)

Oh, the Cheeseburger Family

(Then why would you say so?)

(I don't know)

Oh, the Cheeseburger Family

[Verse 2]

From the time you were born

Flowers have blossomed, trees have grown

You, oh and I

Different in my sight

As with mine, and the lord

It's kinda something special to close the fight (What?) (Ba-ba-ba)

Nothing more divine

(Oh, what'cha doin'-doin'?)

(Dinnertime!)

[Chorus]

Oh, the Cheeseburger Family

Hand me down my suit and tie

Arigato family

I'll be dancing for dinner time

Oh, the Cheeseburger Family

Hand me down my suit and tie

Arigato family

I'll be dancing-

[Bridge 1]

Five in the morning, kids are still snoring

Dad's in the kitchen, have you ever seen such a meal?

Black coffee baby, beef can bring gravy

Moment to be lazy, have you ever seen such a meal?

Backyard daisies, sleepy healthy baby

Lettuce and tomato, have you ever seen such a meal?

Dad sees the babies growing up slowly

He holds on softly, have you ever seen such-

[Bridge 2]

It's a combo sized meal (It's a combo meal)

It's a family deal (It's a family deal)

It's a combo sized meal (It's a combo meal)

It's a family deal (It's a family deal)

It's a combo sized meal, it's a family deal

It's a combo sized meal, it's a family deal

It's a combo sized meal, it's a family deal

It's a combo sized meal, it's a family deal

[Outro]

Oh, Cheeseburger Family

Hand me down my suit and tie

Arigato family

Dancin' dinnertime

(Ooooh...)
## Notes

Cheeseburger Family has since become one of Jack Stauber's more well known songs for its catchy and nostalgic sound, most notably with its extended version and its message about families and growing up. The music video is also well liked for its creative fast food gags with a literal cheeseburger family.

## Trivia

* It's commonly believed by fans that the meaning behind Cheeseburger Family is that the song is about growing up and appreciating your family and passing your traditions down and keeping the "recipe" alive.
	+ The word "Arigato" means "Thank you" in Japanese, making the lyric mean Thank you, family.
* The original version of Cheeseburger Family was first available on Patreon on April 24th, 2018.
* The extended version of Cheeseburger Family came with a small promo when it was first released exclusively on Patreon.
* A behind the scenes photo of Tea Errors exists with Jack Stauber and the woman featured in the music video holding machetes behind a background from the Cheeseburger Family music video.
* The cover and promo video for the Cheeseburger EP are based off this song, with it being the opening track of the EP.
* Since the debut of Jack Stauber's short film OPAL, fans have since commonly connected the concept of Cheeseburger Family to OPAL, with the concept of a loving family and cheeseburgers being the desires of Opal in the film. In the music video, a scene where the cheeseburger kid is looking out the window has also been pointed out for being noticeably similar to the OPAL scenes where she looks out of her window at the Opal's Burgers billboard.
* As revealed in a interview with NewRetroWave, the cork slide whistle featured in the extended version at the start of the first bridge is one Jack's favorite instruments to use.
