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! |
