I have a song stuck in my head and You People Are Not Helping. It would be nice if it was a song about a peanut, but it’s not. It’s a kids’ song and the really frustrating thing is that I can’t remember more than a score or so of the words. If anybody wants to help: it’s the telephone song by the original Mouseketeers. Google didn’t help. I remember the chorus: Ring, ring, ring, I’m a telephone A (varyingly described) telephone (such as handy, dandy and crazy, mixed-up) Oh I just won’t let you alone 'Cause I’m a telephone. Other bits are: And when the snoring’s loudest then I ring. and And when he gets to me I say, “wrong number.” ---

[Found A Peanut](http://julianmorgan.tripod.com/mysite/id38.html) with words and lyrics. Feel free to sing along and add any other verses you may know. Just don’t try making smores in front of yer puter. Melted marshmallow on the keyboard could be disastrous. ---

Many years ago, I drove amused/annoyed my parents by singing the “found a peanut” song at random (note: I was probably about 20 - hardly the age at which you’d expect this sort of thing, but hey, I was amusing myself). My father started leaving peanuts in random places for me to find - in my shoes, stuff like that. He thought this was oh-so-clever. One day I decided to put an end to this. I bought 2 or 3 multi-pound bags of peanuts, pulled back the covers on his bed, covered his side of the bed with peanuts, and replaced the covers. Boy, was he ever surprised when he went for his afternoon nap that day. He nearly choked from laughing so hard, and I never again found a peanut. ---

The linked version is slightly different from the REAL lyrics – which, of course, are the way I sang it as a child. After “Went to heaven” Played the harp Broke a string Said a bad word Sent to hell Shovelling coal Found a peanut I am smugly certain that this is carved in stone by God herself somewhere. ---

If you had a peanut as long as your arm, how could you prevent it from coming to harm? ---
