S is for Sandwiches Are Beautiful

Never heard this song, have you?
Ever heard of Fred Penner? Famous children's performer?
Well, let me tell you this: once you hear "Sandwiches are Beautiful" a few times it will stick in your head forever. You will get old and forgetful and not recognize your own offspring but you will die with "Sandwiches are Beautiful" rolling around in your wasting noodle.
Don't say I didn't warn you.




Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

I'm a roaming and a rambling
A nd a wandering all along,
And if you care to listen,
I will sing a happy song.
I will not ask a favor
And I will not ask a fee,
But if you have a sandwich

Won't you give a bite to me?

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

Once I went to England,
I visited the Queen,
I swear she was the grandest lady
That I've ever seen.
I told her she was beautiful
And could not ask for more,
She handed me a sandwich
And she threw me out the door.

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

A sandwich may be egg or cheese
Or even peanut butter
But they all taste so good to me,
It doesn't even matter
Jam or ham or cucumber,
Any kind will do.
I like sandwiches,
How about you?

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

Sandwiches are beautiful,
Sandwiches are fine.
I like sandwiches, I eat them all the time;
I eat them for my supper and I eat them for my lunch;
If I had a hundred sandwiches, I'd eat them all at once.

  2. OMG!!! Cathy! You get more amazing every day. I couldn't click this link fast tenough. Sandwiches is my favourite, favourite, favourite kids song. We sing it all the time on road trips. Not as well as Fred Penner though.

    Remember Fred Penner's place? He had the best clubhouse in the woods.

  6. I love Fred Penner's singing...I last saw him at Riding Mountain Park one Canada Day - I even have a goofy Fred Penner hat I wear to prove it! lol

    He also does a great rendition of "The Cat came Back!"

    Thanks for bringing back a great memory!
