When big troubles beset you
Seems the world's out to get you
And you don't know where to turn
All your problems need facin'
And you just can't erase 'em
Here's something I have learned
Make yourself a sandwich
Get out in the kitchen
And make yourself a sandwich
Get busy with the fixin'
To make yourself a sandwich
Pile high the ham, yeah, bacon, hmm, mustard, ah
And wash it down with milk
It won't make it no better being a nail-bitin' fretter
Take it easy, take it slow
You can face your trials
Meet your foes with smiles
As you watch your dagwood grow
Make yourself a sandwich
Get out in the kitchen
And make yourself a sandwich
Get busy with the fixin'
To make yourself a sandwich
Pile high the ham, bacon, mustard
Pepper, turkey, onions, ketchup, hot dogs, garlic
And wash it down with milk
When the bill-collector's at the window
And the tax man's at the front door
And your mother-in-law is sliding down the chimney
And you just can't take it no more
Then make yourself a sandwich
Get out in the kitchen
And make yourself a sandwich
Get busy with the fixin'
To make yourself a sandwich
Pile high the ham
Bacon, mustard
Pepper, turkey, onions, ketchup, hot dogs, garlic
And wash it down with milk
When the repossessor has emptied your garage
And the landlord's waiting on the phone
And your kids sat fire to the neighbor's old cat
S.P.C.A. won't leave you alone
Just make yourself a sandwich
Get out in the kitchen
And make yourself a sandwich
Get busy with the fixin'
To make yourself a sandwich
Pile high the ham
Bacon, mustard
Pepper, turkey, onions, ketchup, hot dogs, garlic
Garlic, hot dogs, ketchup, onions, turkey, pepper
Mustard, bacon
And wash it down with milk
