Chorus:
It’s peanut day, peanut day!
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
You’ll have peanuts all this week!
It’s peanut day, snatch ‘em up an’ get away!
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends,
It’s peanut, peanut day!

Now the peanut man come 'round today,
I said, “Okay! Wha-da-ya say?”
He’s got peanuts in the bag,
Let’s sing that “Peanut Rag”.
Step up, chippies, form a line,
Swing them hips, keep in time;
Kick them high, then let’s dine, this morning!

'Cos it’s peanut day, peanut day!
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
You’ll have peanuts all this week!
It’s peanut day, snatch ‘em up an’ get away!
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends,
It’s peanut, peanut day!

Well, the peanut man done passed and gone,
Left us here to sing this song,
But he’ll be back another day,
So let’s all dance and play, hey!
Swing ‘em high, swing ‘em low,
Not too fast, not too slow,
That’s the way the world does go, this morning!

For it’s peanut day, peanut day!
Stuff them peanuts in your cheeks,
You’ll have peanuts all this week!
It’s peanut day, snatch ‘em up an’ get away!
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends
It’s peanut, peanut day!

Tag Line:
Run back to your den, tell all of your friends
It’s peanut, peanut day!
