I’m a Nut
August 4, 2006
This nutty song was one of my big sister’s favorites when we were kids. Now my own kids love it, and start singing it out of the blue at the most unexpected times. (Like when we’re in the car and I happen to say something they think is just totally absurd. I guess they think they’re being funny…)
Thanks to reader Amanda for reminding me of verse #3 (which then reminded me of #4). I hadn’t heard that one in years!
I’m an acorn, small and round
Lying on the cold, hard ground
People come and step on me
That’s why I’m so cracked, you see[Chorus]
I’m a nut, I’m a nut
I’m a nut in a rut, amen!I’m so nutty, I don’t know
Why the squirrels love me so
I’m descended from an oak
Nuts to you, and that’s no jokeCalled myself on the telephone
Just to see if I was home
Asked myself out on a date
Picked me up at half past eightTook myself to a show
Sat myself on the very last row
Put my arms around my waist
Got so fresh I slapped my face
If you want to hear how the song goes, try this version by YouTube contributor Jessica:

Oh, wow, I can’t believe I had forgotten that one! This was one of my big sister’s favorite songs back when we were kids, and I’ve heard her sing that verse probably hundreds of times. Haven’t heard it since, though, and I had forgotten all about it.
Thanks, Amanda!

We used to sing this one in kindergarten but I think it was just the very first verse and chorus … and after the “people come and step on me”
we’d sing something like, “SPLAT!!!!!!! PEANUT BUTTER!” …and then do the chorus going
“im a nut (click click w/ fingers). in a rut (click click!)” …
odd haha.

I loved this song as a kid to, problem is all I can remember is a different verse and the chorus. May be we had a diiferent version here in OZ.
One day a little boy walked by
Looked at me and winked his eye
Said I’ll have you for my tea.
I said Oh no you wont eat me.

Was great to get more verses…..
The one I always sing is:
Love myself, I think I’m grand
Go to the show just to hold hand
Put my arms around my waist,
Go so fresh I slapped ny face,
