“On Top of Spaghetti” by Tom Glazer

 This classic folk song tells the story of a meatball falling off a spaghetti plate and rolling away. Its playful lyrics and catchy melody are a great way to get kids singing along. Here are the lyrics- 

On top of spagetti all covered with cheese

I lost my poor meatball when somebody sneezed

It rolled off the table, it rolled on the floor

And then my poor meatball rolled out of the door

It rolled in the garden and under a bush

And then my poor meatball was nothing but mush.

The mush was as tasty as tasty could be,

And early next summer it grew to a tree.

The tree was all covered with beautiful moss

It grew great big meatballs and tomato sauce.

So if you eat spaghetti all covered with cheese,

Hold on to your meatball and don’t ever sneeze.

Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat

Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly with a football cap

Now where he at? Where he at?

Where he at? Where he at?

Now there he go, there he go

There he go, there he go

Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat

Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly

Peanut butter jelly with a football cap
