Dean Martin - The Peanut Vendor

background chorus)



(Peanut do bop do bop)

(Peanut do bop do bop)

In Cuba each merry maid wakes up with this seranade

Peanuts (they're nice and hot)

Peanuts (he sells a lot)

Peanuts

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're awake)

For at the very break of day

The peanut vendor's on his way

At dawning the whistle blows

(through every city, town and country lane

you hear him sing his plantive little strain)

And as he goes by to you he'll say

(Big jumbos) big jumbo ones

(Come buy those) peanuts roasted today

(Come buy those freshly roasted today)



If you're looking for a moral to this song

50 million monkeys can't be wrong
(Peanuts do bop do bop)

(Peanuts do bop do bop)

(Peanuts do bop do bop)



(In Cuba his smiling face is welcome most anyplace)

(Peanuts they hear him cry)

(Peanuts they all reply)

(If you're looking for an early morning treat)

(Get some double jointed peanuts good to eat)

For breakfast (or dinnertime)

For supper (most anytime)

The merry twinkle in his eye

He's got a way that makes you buy

(Each morning) that whistle blows

(Are you more than I sell)



If an apple keeps the doctor from your door

Peanuts ought to keep him from you even more

(Peanuts) we'll meet again

This street again

We'll eat again

You Peanut Man, that peanut man's gone

(Peanut, peanut, peanut
