Lyrics

[Intro]
Peanuts!
Peanuts!
If you haven't got bananas, don't be blue
Peanuts in a little bag are calling you
You and you
[Verse 1]
For at the very break of day
A peanut vendor's on his way
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
"Peanuts, roasted today
Freshly roasted today"
[Bridge]
If you're looking for a moral to his song
Fifty million little monkeys can't be wrong
[Outro]
Peanuts!
Money
Money, money, money, money
Who wants money?
It ain't hay
It ain't even peanuts
Peanuts!
Today?
Written by: Louis Wolfe Gilbert, Marion Sunshine, Moisés Simons
