I have “Found a Peanut” stuck in my head, yesterday it was the tune but today I remembered enough of the lyrics to look it up. I learned then a bit differently but I think everyone does though. Michael says it is a camp fire song, I am not sure when I picked it up…
Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night. Last night I found a peanut, found a peanut last night.
Cracked it open, cracked it open, cracked it open last night Last night I cracked it open, cracked it open last night.
It was rotten, it was rotten, it was rotten last night, last night it was rotten, it was rotten last night.
Ate it anyway, ate it anyway, ate it anyway last night, last night I ate it anyway, ate it anyway last night.
Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache last night. Last night I got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache last night.
Called the doctor, called the doctor, called the doctor last night. Last night I called the doctor, called the doctor last night.
Cut me open, cut me open, cut me open last night. Last night he cut me open, cut me open last night.
Took the peanut out, took the peanut out, took the peanut out last night. Last night he took the peanut out, took the peanut out last night.
Sewed me up again, sewed me up again, sewed me up again last night. Last night he sewed me up again, sewed me up again last night.
Left the scissors in, left the scissors in, left the scissors in last night. Last night he left the scissors in, left the scissors in last night.
Cut me open again, cut me open again, cut me open again last night. Last night he cut me open again, cut me open again last night.
Died anyway, died anyway, died anyway last night. Last night I died anyway, died anyway last night.
Went to Heaven, went to Heaven, went to Heaven last night. Last night I went to Heaven, went to Heaven last night.
Wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there last night. Last night they wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there last night.
Went the other way, went the other way, went the other way last night. Last night I went the other way, went the other way last night.
Wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there last night. Last night they wouldn’t take me there, wouldn’t take me there last night.
Came back again, came back again, came back again last night. Last night I came back again, came back last night.
Found a peanut, found a peanut, found a peanut last night…
A lot of children’s songs are pretty twisted you know? Food poisoning, medical malpractice, death, resurrection… this one’s got it all!
