Heard about the old time sailor men,
They eat the same thing again and again;
Warm beer and bread they said could raise the dead.

| I think it means exactly how it is writen. Jimmy doesn't use a lot of hidden meaning behind his songs, in fact I don't know if he has any. Now I don't know, he might have tried losing weight and maybe eating veggies but only makin it 70 days. Other than that, I'm sure it means exactly how it sounds. | |

| The more sensible sounding explanation is dieting, however, the fun explanation is that he was stranded on a boat in the ocean. I like the fun explanation. | |

| I think I remember reading about Jimmy saying he and a few others were lost on a boat and the entire time he kept salivating over thoughts of eating a cheeseburger. When they finally made it to land he ordered a burger, of course, and subsequently wrote this song. I don't remember all the details, but I think it was somewhere along those lines. | |
