Shel Silverstein - Peanut Butter Sandwich lyrics
(I'll tell you a story of silly young king Who played with the world at the end of a string But he only loved one single thing and that was just a peanut butter sandwich) Now his scepter wand his royal gowns his regal throne and golden crowns Were brown and sticky from the mounds And drippings from each peanut butter sandwich His subjects all were silly fools cuz he had passed a royal rule That all that they could learn in school was how to make a peanut butter sandwich He would not eat his sovereign steak he scorned his soup and his kingly cake And told his courtly cook to bake And nothin' nothin' nothin' but an extra-sticky peanut butter sandwich And then one day he took a bite and started chewing with delight But found his mouth was stuck quite tight From that last bite of peanut butter sandwich His brother pulled his sister pried the wizard pushed his mother cried Oh my boy's committed suicide from eating his last peanut utter sandwich The dentist came and the royal doc the royal plumber banged and knocked But still those jaws stayed tightly locked oh darn that sticky peanut utter sandwich The carpenter he tried with pliers the telephone man tried with wires The firemen they tried with fire but couldn't melt that peanut utter sandwich With ropes and pulleys drills and coil with steam and lubricating oil For twenty years of tears and toil they fought that awful peanut bbutter sandwich Then all his royal subjects came they hooked his jaws with grapplin' chains And pulled both ways with might and main Against against that peanut butter sandwich Each man and woman girl and boy put down their ploughs and pots and toys And pulled until kerack oh joy they broke right through the peanut utter sandwich A puff of dust a screech a squeak the kin's jaw opened with a creak And then in voice so faint and weak the first words that they heard him speak Were how about a peanut butter sandwich |
