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.

(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.)

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.
