Thirty Years ago we sang the I'm a nut verse followed by.

I'm a little hunk of tin
Nobody knows what shape I'm in
Got four wheels and a running board
Just a little Model Ford

Honk, Honk, Rattle, Rattle, Rattle, Crash, Beep, Beep, 3x Honk Honk! 3x

This summer at Crossroads Outdoor Ministries I learnt this version

I'M A NUT
Unknown

I'm a little acorn round, lying on the dusty ground
Everybody steps on me
So I'm a little cracked you see
Chorus
I'm a nut.You're a nut
You're a nut. You're a nut. You're a nut.

Called myself up on the phone
Just to hear my golden tone
Asked myself out on a date
Better be ready by half past eight

Go to the movies hold my hand
Tell myself that I am grand
Put my arms around my waist
If I get fresh I'll slap my face.

Coca cola came to town
Pepsi cola shot 'em down
Dr. Pepper fixed him up
Now we all drink 7up

Seven up got the flu
Now we all drink Mt. Dew
Mt. Dew went up the mountain
Now we all drink from a fountain.

The car verse is in the Camp Loowit songbook data base under Pile of Tin. www.backyardgardener.com/loowit. ANd as I'm a Little Hunk of Tin in BoyScout Songs @ http://cac.psu.edu/~jxm181/songs. The last two seem to be more recent.

When the entire male staff stood up and taught this with motions, the grownups laughed til we cried. They looked great.
