Toot toot!

Does anyone know the song that this ditty came from? Peanut sitting on a rail road track It's heart was all a flutter along came a choo choo train, Toot, Toot, peanut butter.

My father (now 79) sang it to us kids when we were young. I do not think it is the first verse of the song. And I heard it on a Independant classic radio station in Northern Wisconsin. (WXPR Rhinelander) however that was in 1995 or 1996 and I called the station and they can not locate it by the lines I knew.

I would like a recording and the artist/band name of any performances. Please reply to: bpkites@dwave.net Thanks.

We used to sing that as one of the verses to 'It ain't gonna rain no more' which is in DT.

I recall those lines from a chidren's book of riddles, rhymes, and games published about 1950. Your 'song' appeared as a 4-line verse. Perhaps that's all there is, but, as Bert has pointed out, it is easy to incorporate the idea into verse collections.
