Don’t Get Peanut Butter in the Strawberry Jam

When we all sit down to breakfast, in our little home, 

My father says a blessing, and I add one of my own, 

I pray for what I should be, and give thanks for what I am, 

A special thanks for peanut butter and jam 


I keep my elbows off the table and my chin up off my plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam


Can you keep your… 

elbows off the table and your chin up off your plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, it’s like I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam


Well when I come home for lunch, sometimes I’m alone, 

But I say the same blessing, and I’ve still got one of my own,

You see I pray for what I should be, then I give thanks for what I am, 

A special thanks for peanut butter and jam


I keep my elbows off the table and my chin up off my plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam


Can you keep your… 

elbows off the table and your chin up off your plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam


When we all sit down to supper, in our little home, 

My daddy says a blessing, and I add that same one of my own, 

I pray for what I should be, and give thanks for what I am, 

A special thanks for peanut butter and jam 


I keep my elbows off the table and my chin up off my plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam


Can you keep your… 

elbows off the table and your chin up off your plate, 

The crumbs off the floor the dog already ate, 

When I make dessert, I can hear my mama say… 

Don’t get peanut butter in the strawberry jam
