Richard Cheese Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[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]
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

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.

Every night she walks right in my dreams
I think about her all the time, even in my dreams
Since I met her from the start
I've never stopped thinking about her since I met her
I'm so proud I am the only one
I feel special that she has chosen me over anyone else
Who is special in her heart
I know that she has special feelings for me and only me
The girl is mine
I believe that she belongs to me and not to anyone else
The doggone girl is mine
I am frustrated that others may try to claim her, but I know she is mine
I don't understand the way you think
I don't see why you believe she is yours and not mine
Saying that she's yours not mine
You keep insisting that she belongs to you and not me
Sending roses and your silly dreams
Your romantic gestures are pointless and won't change how she feels about me
Really just a waste of time
You're wasting your time trying to win her over, she has already chosen me
I love you more than he
I am more committed to her than you are
Take you anywhere
I am willing to go anywhere with her and do anything to make her happy
But I love you endlessly
My love for her is limitless and will never fade away
Loving we will share
Our love for each other is mutual and we will share it together
So come and go with me
Let's go out and explore the world together
Two on the town
Just the two of us enjoying each other's company in the city
Richard, we're not going to fight about this, OK?
Let's not argue over who she belongs to, it's not worth it
Stephen, I think I told you, I'm a lover not a fighter
I'd rather love her than fight over her
She told me that I'm her forever lover, you know, don't you remember?
She has made it clear to me that I am the one she truly loves
Well, after loving me, she said she couldn't love another
Once she fell in love with me, she couldn't picture herself being with anyone else
Is that what she said?
Are you sure she really said that?
Yes, she said it, you keep dreaming!
I know for a fact that she said those words to me, and you're just in denial
I don't believe it
I refuse to accept that she really said that
Mine, mine
I won't give her up to anyone else
The girl is mine (mine, mine, mine)
I truly believe that she belongs to me and no one else
