Trying to spit out butter reminds me of a jingle my sister-in-law taught me:

How do you get the peanut butter off the roof of your mouth?

Put it on your finger.

How do you get the peanut butter off your finger?

Wipe it on a dress or a towel.

How do you get the peanut butter off the dress or towel?

Put it back in your mouth.

And on it goes.
