Sellin' nuts, hot nuts, anybody
here want to buy my nuts?
Sellin' nuts, hot nuts, I've got
nuts for sale.
One for five, two for ten,
If you buy 'em once, you'll buy
'em again.
Sellin' nuts, hot nuts, you buy
'em from the peanut man.
Nuts, hot nuts, anybody here want
to buy my nuts?

You tell me your nuts is mighty

But I bet your nuts isn't hot as

Best to have small nuts than have

Spoken: Hot nuts? Peanuts! Nutsies? Nuts!

He's got the hottest nuts in town.
Sellin' nuts, hot nuts, you buy

When a hog gets hungry, he begins
to grunt,
When a man gets hungry, he begins
to hunt,
For nuts, hot nuts, you buy 'em
from the peanut man.
