My wife and I have established a feeding station for chipmunks on her old chord organ on our back porch. They come by regularly and now under the leadership of Feloneous Munk they have formed a band and this is their song:

Peanut Day Rag


Chorus:
G---C--------------D
It’s peanut day, peanut day!
G
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
C
We’ll have peanuts all this week!
---------------------D
It’s peanut day, snatch ’em up an’ get away!
F--------------------------------C------------A
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends,
-------------D--------G------C
“Cos it’s peanut, peanut day!

C
Now the peanut man come ‘round today,
G----------------C
I said, “Okay! Whatcha say?”

He’s got peanuts in the bag,
-------G---------------------C
Let’s sing that “Peanut Rag”.
F
“Step up, chippies, form a line,
C
Swing them hips and keep in time;
D----------------------------------------------------G
Kick them high, then let’s dine, this morn-ing!”

‘Cos it’s peanut day, peanut day!
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
We’ll have peanuts all this week!
It’s peanut day, snatch ’em up an’ get away!
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends,
“Cos it’s peanut, peanut day!

Well, the peanut man done passed and gone,
Left us here to sing this song,
But he’ll be back another day,
So let’s all dance and play, hey!
Swing ‘em high and swing ‘em low,
Not too fast and not too slow,
That’s the way the world does go, this morning!

For it’s peanut day, peanut day!
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
We’ll have peanuts all this week!
It’s peanut day, snatch ‘em up an’ get away!
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends
“Cos it’s peanut, peanut day!
