One day a child came home from football Where he had fumbled, been jeered and booed His mother knew that his heart was breakin' And so she made him his favorite food Chorus 1: She did not make (a bowl) a bowl of salad greens She made no whole wheat rolls or a pile of beans She made him sandwiches on toasted white bread With peanut butter, creamy style The years went by and he was a loser He led a useless and wretched life His mother never criticized him She only smiled as she got out the knife Repeat Chorus 1 So he decided on the basis Of a book that he had read that fall That all his problems had resulted From excessive cholesterol Chorus 2: And so she made (a bowl) a bowl of salad greens She made some whole wheat rolls and a pile of beans She made no sandwiches on toasted white bread With peanut butter, creamy style That night his dog died, He wrecked his pick-up His sweet heart left him, He lost his hair His house caught fire, He went to prison His dear old mother came to him there Repeat Chorus She made him sandwiches on toasted white bread (you know choosy mothers do choose Jiff) With peanut butter, creamy style
