Peanuts
Group X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey, tell me who's hot, who's not
Tell me who you want to go to the store (Uh huh, Yeah)
Him or me? (Yeah Uh huh, yeah)
If he goes he buys broccoli
But I buy candy bar
I don't want no Twislex bar (Twislex Bar)
I don't want no Hershey crunch
I don't want no candy cane (Candy Candy)
Cause I need a good snack to go with my lunch
So I... step to the snack machine
And I... break out my dollar bill
Snack machine say go get change
I get mad, POOP on my dollar bill
This is bad, now I'm sad
No peanut make Hashmeer mad
So I did phone call to chiropractor Doug Hewitt
Ask him for the change, said he would do it
But he forgot, now I'm mad at him
But I still go and go for back estimate
I drink goats milk and sometimes punch
And I need a good snack to go with my lunch

I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
What I want, What I want

I eat peanuts every day
I feel so good when I have them in my hand
I do not care what the people say
Cause if I don't got my peanuts then I'm in pain
They've got vitamins and minerals
Make me strong as you can tell
They make me a lyrical general
You don't eat peanuts, then go to the hell


You can do 200 push up
If you eat peanuts a lot
Then you get the girls with the really good butts
And they let you put the peepee-wet in the crapshot
Peanuts good, potato chips bad
Peanuts are the best snack I ever had
They have so good smelly scent
But you better look out for the elephant
Cause he took my peanuts while I was on the poop pot
And he looked me in the face, said he did not
So if you took my peanuts then your gonna get a punch
Cause I need a good snack to go with my lunch

Cause I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
What I want, What I want

{WHISPER}
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want (Yeah)
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
Peanuts, toot toot
What I want, What I want
Peanuts, toot toot

{NORMAL VOICE}
Peanuts Peanuts two for a dollar
If you got a shirt unbutton the collar
Peanuts Peanuts two for a dollar




If you got a shirt unbutton the collar
[repeat to fadeout]

Overall Meaning

The song "Peanuts" by Group X is a comical take on the importance of peanuts as a snack. The song is primarily about a man's quest for his favourite snack, peanuts. The song takes the form of a conversation between the singer and another person, possibly a friend, asking for their opinion on who is hotter between the two of them, deciding who will go to the store to buy lunch, and the singer arguing that he should be the one to go as he prefers peanuts to other snacks. The singer attempts to purchase peanuts from a vending machine but isn't able to as he is unable to get change. He contacts a friend, a chiropractor, to give him change but the friend eventually forgets.

decades later, i still randomly sing this song under my breath when I'm eating peanuts.... often times when I'm not eating peanuts.. it's burned into my skull.

@H2Raby

They are literally the greatest punk band
ever. They could've made 10 more albums and I would've listened to every song a hundred times

@suzushirou

this has always been my favorite Group X song but it's so under-appreciated... every once and I while I still go back to it and get 'free back es-ti-met'

@Neimonster

I eat pea-nuts every day

@mick-luv-in

Now that I work at Texas Roadhouse, this song gets stuck in my head every day
