Camembert, Roquefort, give me just a little more, Cheese that I adore, Cause I don’t have a healthy heart. Mozzarella I will fry, Gorgonzola I will try, Jarlsberg on rye, Cause I don’t care about my heart, Cholesterol upon this heart of mine, I’ve been raised on milk from the start, Brie is nice, Fetta’s good, Cheddar can be smoked with wood, But I don’t want to break my heart. Parmesan on bolognese, Stilton’s flavour they do praise, Eat it in so many ways, Though it’s not so good for your heart. Emmental cheese is fine, if not watching my waistline, It tastes so divine, When I’m not thinking of my heart Cholesterol upon this heart of mine, I’ve been eating cheese from the start, Edams great, heaven’s sake, You can eat it in a cake, But I don’t want to break my heart. By the slice, or the round, so much cheese can be found, Made the world around, And who cares about my heart
