The Two Little Squirrels (Nuts to You)
There once were two little squirrels
Who loved to romp and play
They'd run around through the meadows
So happy and so gay
But when the summer was over
They both began to brood
Although the winter was comin'
They hadn't any food
And so the papa squirrel
Went away one day
When he came back that evening
Here's what he had to say
Said the mama squirrel to the papa squirrel
Nuts, nu-nu-nu-nuts to you
It looks like a cold, cold winter
So I brought you a few
Said the mama squirrel to the papa squirrel
Nuts, nu-nu-nu-nuts from me
We're not gonna stop this winter
How happy we will be
We've got walnuts, chestnuts, all the best nuts
Every kind of doughnuts
Brazil nuts, peanuts, we-will-see-nuts
'Til we really go nuts
Now the papa squirrel and the mama squirrel
Bill and chew
And she knows that he really loves her
Since he said "Nuts to you"
[Instrumental Break]
We've got walnuts, chestnuts, all the best nuts
Every kind of doughnuts
Brazil nuts, peanuts, we-will-see-nuts
'Til we really go nuts
Now the papa squirrel and the mama squirrel
Bill and chew
And she knows that he really loves her
Since he said "Nuts to you"
Walnuts, chestnuts
Doughnuts, peanuts
Nuts, nuts, to you
