Yum, yum, pumpernickel, pumpernickel bread
Barney has a bread and its call pumpernickel
Yum, yum, pumpernickel, pumpernickel bread
I have a sandwich made with white bread
It's delicious, would you like a bite?
White bread, white bread
Yum, yum, white bread

The song "Pumpernickel" is a children's song about bread. The first two verses focus on the main point of the song – a bread called pumpernickel. The repetition of "yum, yum" emphasizes how delicious the bread is. The third verse contrasts pumpernickel with white bread, which highlights the dark color and unique taste of pumpernickel. The singer offers the listener a bite of their white bread sandwich, but the real focus is still on pumpernickel.
The song's simple lyrics are perfect for young children who are just learning about different types of bread. It's easy to sing along to and encourages kids to think about what they're eating. While the song itself may not be particularly meaningful, it can spark conversations about different types of bread and the role they play in our diets.
