You say that you don't want stew,
You say that you don't want stew,
So you grab the butter and some meat and some cheese.

You get some whole-grain wheat bread,
Some mayo and some jam spread,
They're simple to make, you can do it with ease.

And I know you want some food,
But not a box of dozen store-baked goods
You don't want a soda or some water or wine.

Ya don't want a fish steak,
Or a chocolate milk shake,
So when you want quick food, keep this in mind:

(Chorus)
Ya take it on a bun, baby
A ham and cheddar sandwich, maybe.
They are easy to carry 'round.
Take shredded lettuce
Just takes a minute
When you're on the run, you should take it on a bun.

You're spreadin' on the mayonaise,
You're puttin' on the chopped-up eggs,
You make it so it's filled and perfect and good

You love to make a submarine,
You put on seven dressings
You remind me of Blondie's husband, Dagwood.

(Chorus)
Ya take it on a bun, baby
A ham and cheddar sandwich, maybe.
They are easy to carry 'round.
Take shredded lettuce
Just takes a minute
When you're on the run, you should take it on a bun.

(Chorus)
Ya take it on a bun, baby
A ham and cheddar sandwich, maybe.
They are easy to carry 'round.
Take shredded lettuce
Just takes a minute
When you're on the run, you should take it on a bun.

You say that you don't want stew,
You say that you don't want stew,
So you grab the butter and some meat and some cheese.
