Lyrics

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor, now I'm feeling low

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh, cheese gone astray

Whoa-oh, cheddar slipped away

Verse 2

Backyard barbecue, you were sittin real fine

Next to me on the plate, thought you were all mine

But then you slid to the left, sausage gave you a look

Now I'm swiss with the holes, everything you took

Pre-Chorus

You were sharp, I was plain

Now I'm stuck out in the rain

You found your spice, left me bland

That's not what we planned

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor, now I'm feeling low

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh, cheese gone astray

Whoa-oh, cheddar slipped away

Verse 3

Found the sausage out back, actin smug and sly

Had a glint in his eye, thought he'd never die

Took him out behind the shed, buried him in sand

Now it's just me and cheese, lonely in this land

Pre-Chorus

Still I'm missin that taste

Of a love I can't replace

Guess the past is gone, can't rewind

Just a rind left behind

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor, now I'm feeling low

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh, cheese gone astray

Whoa-oh, cheddar slipped away

Verse 4

Now sausage shows up late at night, chillin by my door

Can’t escape his spicy stare, footprints on my floor

Everywhere I turn, he’s peepin from the shade

Cursed by sausage spirit, can’t throw that mess away

Pre-Chorus

Paranoid in the dark

Tryna run from the spark

Old flavors never fade

Still got a price to be paid

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor, now I'm feeling low

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh, cheese gone astray

Whoa-oh, sausage here to stay

Verse 5

Pulled back the curtain, sausage wearing orange tan

Hairpiece waving wild, tiny hands in the pan

“Cheese and meats unite!” he cries, swaggering through my hall

Didn’t know I’d summon Donald, never should’ve made that call

Pre-Chorus

Now my fridge is a stage

For a political rage

Wish I’d stuck to toast

Haunted by my host

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor, now I'm feeling low

Post-Chorus

Whoa-oh, cheese gone astray

Whoa-oh, what a weird parade

Verse 6

Woke up to sausage breaking down my door

golden tie flapping, shouting "this is war"

He swung a bratwurst bat, knocked me off my feet

Now I'm swiss and cheddar stains, laid out in the heat

Pre-Chorus

Guess regret comes quick

When the grillman's this slick

On the tile where I bled

Should’ve gone for bread

Chorus

Oh cheddar, you left me on the shelf

Caught you rollin with a sausage, thought I was by myself

Cheddar, my dairy queen, how could you do me so

I melted for your flavor,

Guitar Solo

(rapid surf riffs ringing, waves crash)

(saxophone wails in the background)

Strings are screaming, brass is bleeding

Shredding heat in the midnight air

Palm trees flicker in the fridge-glow lighting

Sausage ghost still dancing there

Instrumental

(guitar bends
