How to Multiply by “3”

  "PBJ, Three Times a Day" lyrics

Pamela Bamela Jamela
Was born with a perfect name
Because she loved peanut butter (and jelly)
We all called her PB and J

She wanted to set a record
For the fun of it and the fame
So all she was going to eat every day
Was goobery PB and J

Momma wants to know what you want for breakfast
P,B and J!
Momma wants to know what you want for lunch
P,B and J!
Momma wants to know what you want for dinner
P,B and J!
Momma wants to know what you're gonna eat all week
P,B and J, three times a day

On the first day of eating 3 P, B and J's
Three sticky sandwiches on her way
That's 1x3=3, 1x3=3

On the second day of eating 3 P, B and J's
Too excited to go out and play
2x3=6, 2x3=6

On the third day of eating 3 P, B and J's
Her big, ugly brother said "no way!"
3x3=9, 3x3=9

On the fourth day of eating 3 P, B and J's
All of her friends said "Hooray!"
4x3=12, 4x3=12

On the fifth day of eating 3 P, B and J's
Sitting in her Daddy's Chevrolet
5x3=15, 5x3=15

She ate 3,6,9,12,15
P,B and J, three times a day!
She ate 3,6,9,12,15
P,B and J, three times a day!
She's a peanut butter eating machine

On the sixth day of eating 3 P, B and J's
Too stuffed to go out and play
6x3=18, 6x3=18

On the seventh day of eating 3 P, B and J's
The old jar of jelly turned gray
7x3=21, 7x3=21

On the eighth day she ate them with jelly on the bottom
She almost had to stop since they tasted so rotten
8x3=24, 8x3=24

On the ninth day of eating 3 P, B and J's
No drop of jelly in the way
9x3=27, 9x3=27

On the tenth day of eating 3 P, B and J's
She got sick

Pamela Bamela Jamela
10 days of just P, B and J
She made it to thirty
And then the floor got a little dirty
Her record still stands today

She ate 3,6,9 and 12
15,18 then 21
24, 27, 30
That's all and then she was done

She ate 3,6,9 and 12
15,18 then 21 (How fun!)
24, 27, 30
That's all and then she was done

She ate 3,6,9 and 12
15,18 then 21 (How fun!)
24, 27, 30
That's all and then she was done
