Found a peanut

Found a peanut,
found a peanut,
found a pea-nut just now!
Just now I found a peanut.
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked me up
Cracked me up
Cracked me up just now.
Just now u cracked me up
Cracked me up just now

No kidding, we started singing this in my cube farm last Friday! It went downhill from there into more campfire songs…
Peanut
Peanut butter
Jelly.

Betcha never heard this one. It’s on a record made in 1932 by a dance band called Snooks and His Memphis Ramblers.

Soloist: I found a peanut. I found a peanut.
Orchestra: Where didja find it? Where didja find it?
Found it in my pocket. Found it in my pocket.
Whatcha gonna do with it? Whatcha gonna do with it?
I’m gonna eat it. I’m gonna eat it.
What’s it gonna taste like? What’s it gonna taste like?
Looks like a peanut. Feels like a peanut.
Tastes like a peanut y’gosh darn fool!

A peanut sat on a railroad track
It’s heart was all a-flutter
Along came the train, the 3:15
Uh-oh, peanut butter.

Cracked it open, cracked it open
Cracked it open just now
Just now I cracked it open
Cracked it open just now

…of course, you’re never the same after hearing “Found my penis…”

It was rotten, it was rotten
It was rotten just now
Just now it was rotten
It was rotten just now

(My ringneck parrots found a peanut and fought over it. The female, Azazel, managed to gain control of the peanut and hit the male across the face twice with it. After that he gave up.)

Eight it ten eway,
Eight it ten eway,
Eight it ten eway just now…

[size=1]Oh hello, Lady Mondegreen

Got a tummyache
Got a tummyache
Got a tummyache just now
Just now I got a tummyache
Got a tummyache just now

Called the doctor
Called the doctor
Called the doctor just now
Just now I called the doctor
Called the doctor just now

He couldn’t cure me
He couldn’t cure me
He couldn’t cure me just now
Just now he couldn’t cure me
He couldn’t cure me just now

(although I used to sing it “last night” instead of “just now”)

But the nurse could
But the nurse could
But the nurse could just now
Just now she cured me
She cured me just now

She used a death-ray
She used a death ray
She used a death-ray just now
Just now she used a death-ray
She used a death-ray just now

How it revived me
How it revived me
How it revived me just now
Just now how it revived me
How she revived me just now

No, you have it all wrong. You are supposed to go to Heaven because the operation failed, then cuss out St. Peter. This results in you being sent down below where you kick the Devil. Then you wind up shovelling coal and find another peanut.

Can we do “99 Bottles of Beer” next? The lyrics are easier to remember.

Bizarrely, I only just taught this song to my kids yesterday. We have spent the last day singing “Found a peanut,” which I haven’t sung for years.

-Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts!
-Explain how!
-Money can be exchanged for goods and services!
