 In Cuba, each merry maid

 Wakes up with this serenade

 Peanuts! Theyre nice and hot

 Peanuts! I sell alot

 If you havent got bananas, dont be blue

 Peanuts in a little bag are calling you

 Dont waste them, no tummy ache

 Youll taste them when you awake

 For at the very break of day

 The peanut vendors on his way

 At dawning that whistle blows

 Through evry city, town, and country lane

 Youll hear him sing his plaintive little strain

 And as he goes by to you hell say:

 Big jumbos, big double ones

 Come buy those peanuts roasted today

 Come try those freshly roasted today!BR Peanuts! I sell alot,

 BRPeanuts! Well meet again

 BRPeanuts! This street again

 BRPeanuts! Youll eat again

 BRYour peanut man.?
