Peanut Butter Sandwich is a Raffi song on Singable Songs for the Very Young.
Lyrics[]
A peanut butter sandwich made with jam,
One for me and one for David Amram
A peanut butter sandwich made with jam,
Stick, stick, stick, stick, stick
I can think of which is good and bad,
But the best wish that I’ve ever had
Was a peanut butter sandwich made with jam,
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum
[Instrumental Break on Kazoo]
A peanut butter sandwich made with jam,
One for me and one for David Amram
A peanut butter sandwich made with jam,
Stick, stick, stick, stick, stick
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!
[Kazoo outro]
