Get 'Em From The Peanut Man (Hot Nuts)
(Johnson)

Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
I've got nuts for sale.

One for five, two for ten.
If you buy 'em once,
You'll buy 'em again.
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
You buy 'em from the peanut man.

Nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
I've got nuts for sale.

They tell me your nuts is mighty fine,
But I bet your nuts isn't hot as mine.
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
You buy 'em from the peanut man.

Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here want to buy my nuts?
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!

They tell me that man's nuts is mighty small.
Best to have small nuts than to have no nuts at all!
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
You buy 'em from the peanut man.

Hot Nuts!
Peanuts!
Nuts, cheap!
Nuts!

Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy some nuts?
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!

You see that man all dressed in brown?
He's got the hottest nuts in town!
Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
You buy 'em from the peanut man.

Nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here want to buy my nuts?
Selling Nuts! Hot nuts!
I've got nuts for sale.

When a hog get hungry,
He began to grunt.
When a man get hungry,
He began to hunt.
Hot nuts.
Hot nuts!
You buy 'em from the peanut man.
