Tom Paxton - Peanut Butter Pie lyrics

The principal spoke to the school one day Not enough work and too much play No more recess, no more fun No more laughing anyone Someone told him, “Here try this” He took one bite and his face was bliss He looked so happy that he could cry When he ate a piece of peanut bu*ter pie Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie If you don't think it's wonderful, I want to know why It will stick to your mouth ‘til you can't say “Hi!” Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie When I was young I had a pup He licked my face to wake me up Up on the sofa he would jump Wag his long tail, thump! thump! thumb! When I'd come back home from town He would nearly knock me down We'd roll on the ground then he and I Would eat a piece of peanut bu*ter pie Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie If you don't think it's wonderful, I want to know why It will stick to your mouth ‘til you can't say “Hi!” Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie When I come home from school at three My mother is waiting there for me I have chores that I must do I'll bet that you have some too First I have a little treat She gives me a little bite to eat But you and I pretend that I Am eating peanut bu*ter pie Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie If you don't think it's wonderful, I want to know why It will stick to your mouth ‘til you can't say “Hi!” Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie Try, try some peanut bu*ter pie Oh, try, try some peanut bu*ter pie
