PEANUT VENDOR
Moises Simons, Marion Sunshine, Wolfe Gilbert  

as rec by Sam Browne w Ambrose and His Orch (1931)


Peanuts, peanuts!
Peanuts!

Peanuts!
In Cuba, each merry maid
Wakes up with, this serenade
Peanuts! Fresh roasted, they're nice and hot
Peanuts! They're toasted, I sell a lot
If you haven't got bananas, don't be blue
Peanuts in a little bag are calling you
Don't waste them, no tummy ache
You'll taste them when you awake
For at the very break of day
The peanut vendor's on his way
At dawning that whistle blows
Through ev'ry city, town, and country lane
You'll hear him sing his plaintive little strain
And as he goes by to you he'll say:
Big jumbos, big double ones
Come buy those peanuts roasted today
Come try those freshly roasted today!
If you're looking for a moral to this song
Fifty million little monkeys can't be wrong
Peanuts! I'll look for his treat I guess
Peanuts! I'll sell them, you'll eat again
I love, I love
Peanuts.
