I sell alot 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!"BR Peanuts! I sell alot, BR"Peanuts! We'll meet again BRPeanuts! This street again BRPeanuts! You'll eat again BRYour peanut man.?
