Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:


Lyrics

I’ve got a song that won’t take very long
Quite a good sort of note if I strike it
It is something we eat
And I think it’s quite sweet
And I know you are going to like it

Chorus:
I like Aeroplane Jelly
Aeroplane Jelly for me
I like it for dinner, I like it for tea
A little each day is a good recipe
The quality’s high as the name will imply
It’s made from pure fruits
One more good reason why
I like Aeroplane Jelly
Aeroplane Jelly for me
