Hey, I think we might have a problem
And it's been going on for years
Oh, every time you leave
Something else just disappears

Always the same thing
All my cheese, baby swiss or string
Goin' with you out the door

Every time you go away
You take a piece of cheese with you
Always much to my dismay
You take a piece of cheese with you

You must think it's free, yeah
But I beg to disagree
All my provolone and bleu
It isn't cheap, so hear my plea

You can't go on takin' my vendee
And I can see that you snatch my brie
As you're heading for the door

Every time you go away, yeah
You take a piece of cheese with you, oh
[You] think the fridge is your buffet
You take a piece of cheese with you, ooh

(No!)

Don't run off with my baladi
'Cause roomie, can't you see all the testouri
Is for me and me alone

Every time you go away
You take a piece of cheese with you
All my finn and charolais
You take a piece of cheese with you

Every time you go away (noooooooo!)
You take a piece of cheese with you (every time!)
[I] never said it was ok
To take a piece of cheese with you
(this ain't gouda, you need to pay a coverdale charge)

Every time you go away (every single time!)
You take a piece of cheese with you
(keep your hands off my colby, jack)
Every time you go away (noooooooo!)
You take a piece of cheese with you (edam it!)
