DEVO cover lyrics   (1985)[2], (released 1986)[3]

  (intro)

(A-he likes bread and butta’)

(He likes toast and jam)

(A-that's what his baby feeds him)

(He's her lovin' man)

< well, I like bread and butter >

< i like toast and jam >

< that's what baby feeds me >

< i'm her lovin' man >

(He likes bread and butta’)

(He likes toast and jam)

(A-that's what his baby feeds him)

(He's her lovin' man)

< weeelll, she don't make mashed potatoes >

< she don't cook T-bone steak >

< she don't feed me peanut butta’ >

< she knows that I could take >

  (guitar solo)

(He likes bread and butta’)

(He likes toast and jam)

(That's what his baby feeds him)

(And he's her lovin' man)

[ Well, I came home early one mornin' ]

[ And much to my surprise ]

[ She was eatin' chicken McNuggets ]

[ With some other guy ]

(No more bread and butta’)

(No more toast and jam)

(He found his baby eatin')

(With another man)

< no, no, no, no more bread and butter >

< no more toast and jam >

< i found my baby eatin' >
