"The Butter Battle Book" Quotes

I said, ‘Do you choose / Butter Side Up / Or Butter Side Down?’

But this was not good. No, this was bad. / This was really, really, really bad.

I am the Zooks. Who are you? / Are you a Zook too, or are you a Yook?

We’ll be snookered. / We’ll be snookered like Zooks, / With our heads in their frying pans / And our tails in their cookbooks!

Up on this wall, on this awful Great Wall, / We can't have a chat or a chinwag at all!

You have no right to be shaking each other! / You always must never be shaking a brother.

When the Butter Battle ends, then the Big-Boy Boomers / Will ruin all the Zooks and all the Yooks!

And the chances we’re taking are terribly grim. / One of us may end up with a terribly slim / Chance of getting out with our heads still attached!

‘We will do what we like!’ said the Yooks. ‘And we do.’ / ‘And what do you like?’ said the Zooks. ‘How about you?’

But this isn’t good either. No, this isn’t good. / This isn’t good at all. / This is really, really, really, really bad.
