PEANUTS
In Cuba, each merry maid
Wakes up with, this
serenade,
Peanuts! They’re nice and
hot,
Peanuts!
I sell a lot.
If you haven’t got bananas
don’t be blue,
Peanuts in a little bag are
calling you.
Don’t waste them,
No tummy ache,
You’ll taste them,
When you awake,
For at the very break of
day,
The peanut vendor’s on his
way.
At dawning, that whistle
blows,
Through every city, town
and country lane,
You’ll hear him sing his
plaintive little strain,
And as he goes by to you
he’ll say:
Big Jumbos, big double ones,
Come buy those
Peanuts roasted to day,
Come try those
Freshly roasted today!
If you’re looking for a moral for this song,
Fifty million little
monkeys can’t be wrong.
Peanuts! We’ll meet again,
(In Cuba 2. Each Merry maid) (Wakes up with 2. This serenade)
Peanuts! I’ll sing again,
Peanuts! We’ll eat again,
Your peanut man,
That peanut man’s gone.
Hey!
