| 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:
|
| Â??Big jumbos, big double ones
|
| Come buy those peanuts roasted today
|
| Come try those freshly roasted today!â??
|
| If you’re looking for a moral to this song
|
| Fifty million little monkeys can’t be wrong
|
| In Cuba, his smiling face
|
| Is welcome most every place
|
| Peanuts! |
| They hear him cry
|
| Peanuts! |
| They all reply
|
| If you’re looking for an early morning treat
|
| Get some double jointed peanuts good to eat
|
| For breakfast or dinner time
|
| For supper, most anytime
|
| A merry twinkle in his eye
|
| He’s got a way that makes you buy
|
| Each morning that whistle blows
|
| The little children like to trail along
|
| They love to hear the peanut vendor’s song
|
| They all laugh with glee when he will say
|
| Â??They're roasted, no tiny ones
|
| They’re toasted, peanuts in the shell
|
| Come buy some, I eat more than I sell!â??
|
| If an apple keeps the doctor from your door
|
| Peanuts ought to keep him from you ever more
|
| In Cuba, each merry maid
|
| Wakes up with this serenade
|
| Peanuts! |
| They’re nice and hot
|
| Peanuts! |
| I sell a lot
|
| Â??Peanuts! |
| We’ll meet again
|
| Peanuts! |
| This street again
|
| Peanuts! |
| You’ll eat again
|
| Your peanut man.â??
|
| That Peanut man’s gone |
