Peanut Butter Pie

(Album: Goin' To The Zoo - 1997)

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 butter pie
Try, try some peanut butter 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 butter 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 butter pie
Try, try some peanut butter 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 butter 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 butter pie
Try, try some peanut butter 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 butter pie
Try, try some peanut butter pie
Oh, try, try some peanut butter pie
