Lyrics
Everybody loves a nut the whole world loves a weirdo
Brains are in a rut but everybody loves a nut
[ piano ]
There was a hermit named Fred who kept the dead horse in his cave
And everyone said to Fred
Fred how come you keep a dead horse in your cave and he said well
Brains are in a rut but everybody loves a nut
[ piano ]
A columbia man named Frank had a tiger named Hank
He tried to put Hank in his tank guess what happened to ol’ Frank
When they picked up the teets there and eyeballs
And erected a tombstone that read
(Everybody loves a nut…
[ piano ]
Another Columbia fella told queen Isabella
I don’t think the world is flat and now what do you think about that
And she said you don’t and he said no ma’m
And she said he’d get out of my queendom and he said yes ma’m
(Everybody loves a nut…
Everybody loves a nut…
