The Girl Is Mine
Richard Cheese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Michael Jackson / Paul McCartney]

[Intro]
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
I'm Richard Cheese
You know, so many years ago Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney recorded a wonderful duet and I'd like to do it for you with someone very special

[Cheese]
Every night she walks right in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I'm so proud I am the only one
Who is special in her heart

The girl is mine
The doggone girl is mine

Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Stephen Hawking!

[Hawking]
I don´t understand the way you think
Saying that she's yours not mine
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Really just a waste of time

Because she's mine
The doggone girl is mine

[Duet]
I love you more than he
(Take you anywhere)
But I love you endlessly
(Loving we will share)
So come and go with me
Two on the town

The girl is mine

[Hawking]
Richard, we´re not going to fight about this, OK?

[Cheese]
Stephen, I think I told you, I´m a lover not a fighter

[Hawking]
I´ve heard it all before, Richard
She told me that I´m her forever lover, you know, don´t you remember?

[Cheese]
Well, after loving me, she said she couldn´t love another

[Hawking]
Is that what she said?

[Cheese]
Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming!

[Hawking]
I don´t believe it

[Both]
Mine, mine
The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)

[Hawking]
Thank you, Richard

[Cheese]
Thank you, Stephen

[Hawking]




Good night

Overall Meaning

In Richard Cheese's rendition of the classic duet between Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney, titled The Girl Is Mine, the singer starts by introducing himself as a performer, and then acknowledges the original artists while stating his intentions to sing it with someone special. The first verse is taken by Cheese himself, where he sings about a girl that he's so in love with, to the point of being the only one special in her heart. The chorus follows, with the singer repeating "The girl is mine, the doggone girl is mine", emphasizing his claim over her heart.


Next, renowned physicist Stephen Hawking speaks, saying that he doesn't understand why Cheese is so confident in thinking that the girl belongs to him, mentioning that sending her roses and dreaming about being with her are futile exercises. He then joins Richard Cheese in a duet, where they sing to the girl about their feelings toward her. Hawking concedes that he loves her more than Cheese but in response, Cheese says that his love for her knows no bounds. The song ends with both of them stating their claim over the girl, and then bidding farewell to each other and the audience.
