[Verse 1] He’s forty-three and proud ItalianHippie in the room Anime on the screen Cat hair on the broom Old classic on the TV Eyes all extra bright He takes a little hit Now the whole world feels right [Pre-Chorus] And he said, “Wait a minute” “Got a better little plan” If the pastry is a shortcut Then I’m a butter man [Chorus] Butter on a Pop Tart Yeah, that’s the move Butter on a Pop Tart Makes the whole thing groove Not a health food dream So why pretend to start? If you’re gonna do the treat Put butter on a Pop Tart [Verse 2] He wanted to record it Make the whole world grin But the studio said, “Sorry” And the door closed in So he laughed and shook his head Like, “Fine, I’ll make it plain” If it’s sugar in a wrapper Add a little golden rain [Pre-Chorus] That’s the logic That’s the groove If it’s already guilty Let the flavor move [Chorus] Butter on a Pop Tart Yeah, that’s the move Butter on a Pop Tart Makes the whole thing groove Not a health food dream So why pretend to start? If you’re gonna do the treat Put butter on a Pop Tart [Bridge] One voice: “Is it science?” Other voice: “It’s a vibe” One voice: “Is it healthy?” Other voice: “Absolutely not, but fine” One voice: “Then what’s the lesson?” Other voice: “Simple, clear, and smart” Both: “Cold pastry? warm it up Put butter on a Pop Tart” [Final Chorus] Butter on a Pop Tart Yeah, that’s the move Butter on a Pop Tart Makes the whole thing groove Not a health food dream So why pretend to start? If you’re gonna do the treat Put butter on a Pop Tart [Outro] Toaster hot, then spread it thick That’s the final art Say it loud, say it proud Put butter on a Pop Tart
