over in link the lyrics.. connie posted
Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.
Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.
It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.
my version is Last night, when i was sleeping,, not just now, but its the same song..
So,
Found a peanut, found a peanut
Found a peanut last night,
Last night, when i was sleeping,
Found a peanut, last night..
you'll notice the verses follow a pattern..
in my version, there were many verses..
Ate it any way, ate it anyway...
Got sick, got sick,....
Called the doctor, called the doctor....
Died any way, died any way...
Went to heaven, went to heaven...
couldn't get in, couldn't get in...
went to hell, went to hell...
(more verses.. end up with...)
I was dreaming, i was dreaming...
**************************************
and of course the all time favorite classic
Does your chewing gum loose its flavor
On the bed post overnight?
When your mother says "don't chew it"
Do you swallow it for spite?
Can you catch it on your tonsils,
and dang it left and right?
Oh, does your chewing gum loose is flavor
on the bed post over night!
we also sang old classic UK kids songs, like:
I've got sixpence, jolly, jolly sixpence
Ive got sixpence to last me all my life
Ive got tupence to spend,
and tupence to lend,
and tupence to bring home to my wife, (poor wife!)
No cares have i to grieve me,
No dirty little (boys/girls) to decieve me,
Im as happy as a lark, believe me,
as we go rolling rolling home (dead drunk!)
rolling home, rolling home,
by light of the silvery mo, oo, oo, on,
Im as happy as a lark, believe me,
as we go rolling rolling home (dead drunk!)
next verse, four pence, (and no pence to bring home to the wife,
then tupence, and No pence lend, and no pence to bring home to wife,
and finally, i've got no pence! no pence to spend, no pence to lend, and no pence to bring home to my wife, (poor wife!)
i remember mamy more songs that clapping games or jump rope songs.. the peanut song, and the six pence song were bus trip songs.. for school trips or camp.
