lyrics
From cookies to brownies to raspberry jam
If there's butter in it, I'm your man
Leave it on the counter, and it spreads much better
If you're hot for a lady, there's one way to get her
Better by the stick than in a jar
B-U-T-T-E-R!
From the east to the west to the north to the south
Find a way to shove some butter in your mouth
You say tomato, I say tomato
I like butter on my hot potato
Mix it in your matzoh, put it on a bagel
Spread it all over any way you can finagle
Better by the stick than in a jar
B-U-T-T-E-R!
From the east to the west to the north to the south
Find a way to shove some butter in your mouth
Werewolves, zombies, and vampires too
Keep them all away with butter in your shoe
Butter in your coffee makes you strong
If you're not already doing it, that's just wrong
I left my butter out in the sun
Now I have nothing to spread on my buns
A leper mime came and stole my butter
Now all my hopes have gone in the gutter
Better by the stick than in a jar
B-U-T-T-E-R!
From the east to the west to the north to the south
Find a way to shove some butter in your mouth
