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

Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts, hot nuts
I've got nuts for sale
Six for a quarter, ten for a half
You can have a dozen if you crack 'em fast
Selling nuts, hot nuts
Buy 'em from the peanut man

Peanuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy some nuts?
Selling nuts, hot nuts
I've got nuts for sale
These nuts I got they just won't sow
If you eat 'em once, you will eat some mo'
Selling nuts, hot nuts
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
Now you see that man all dressed in black
His nuts is so hot he keep 'em in a sack
You've got nuts, hot nuts
Buy 'em from the peanut man

Spoken: Yes, come on and get your nuts!
It's good and hot!
I mean peanuts!

Hot nuts! Selling nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts, hot nuts
I've got nuts for sale
Me 'n' the hot-dog man had a scuffle on the ground
If you want my nuts don't have to throw me down
I've got nuts, hot nuts
Buy 'em from the peanut man

Peanuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts, hot nuts
I've got nuts for sale
When you see me standing on the corner so soon
Trying to get my nuts all sold before noon
I've go nuts, hot nuts
You buy 'em from the peanut man, I say
You buy 'em from the peanut man

March 4, 1936. Vocalion 03241. It seems this was
recorded as an alternate take in case the Feb. 12, 1936 recording
had to be withdrawn for being to risqué. Date provided
is the recorded date.
