“Peanut Butter, Grape Jelly”
Peanut butter, grape jelly, peanut butter, jam
Peanut butter, grape jelly, peanut butter, jam
Peanut butter, grape jelly, peanut butter, jam
I like peanut butter, yes, yes ma’am
[Optional: repeat the lines above, substituting student-suggested words for “grape jelly”]
My mother says one day she’ll bet
I’ll turn to peanut butter so get set
The biggest jar of peanut butter you’ve ever met
But I haven’t turned to peanut butter,
Nope, not yet.
You can listen to the song on YouTube. It’s the first song of the video.
