Thread Name: Lyr Req: Whoever Shall Have Some Good Peanuts
Subject: ADD Version: Peanut Song (1909)
Hey, this song goes back a long, long way.

PEANUT SONG.

The man who has plenty of good peanuts,
And giveth his neighbor none,

Chorus.
He shan't have any of my peanuts
When his peanuts are gone.
When his peanuts are gone,
When his peanuts are gone,
He shan't have any of my peanuts
When his peanuts are gone.

The man who has plenty of good oranges,
And giveth his neighbor none, etc.

The man who has plenty of soft, sweet soda crackers,
And giveth his neighbor none, etc.

The man who has plenty of ripe, red, strawberry short-cake,
And giveth his neighbor none, etc.

That man who has any salt-junk,
And will give his neighbor none, etc.
