christo graham - how to sell a peanut lyrics

so you wanna enlist
you don’t start at the top
peanut pushing’s a company position
you get handed a mop
our circus ain’t no place for tres ordinaire
but thanks for coming out

we require appointment
booked years in advance
a curriculum vitae
favor given to those who dance
we screen all our employees meticulously
but thanks for coming out

when i was a boy like you, the age of five (i’m eleven)
i sold my first peanut, never felt so alive
i said no lie, these peanuts let you travel through time
thе sign said two for a penny but she gave mе a dime
when i was in the desert, colorado, i think
i met a man who would wander lost and needed a drink
i sold him thirty peanuts saying “jim, here’s a tip
i bet a salty snack’s the first thing
you’ll want after you sip”

so you see
so you see
i can sell a peanut to most anyone
(can you?)
(you know, it takes a certain kind of loser to do what we do)

i visited the vatican to see the queen
i told her she looked nothing like them pictures i’d seen
that nun bought my whole stock ‘fore she had let out a curse
and all i said was “corpus christi” and she opened her purse

so you see
so you see
when you’re as good as me
you can sell a peanut to most anyone (ain’t nothing holding me down)
you can sell a peanut to most anyone (saint genesius, pray for me)
you can sell a peanut to most anyone
