Peanut Vendor (El Manisero) |
| 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 |
