“Found a Peanut”這首童謠用的是耳熟能詳的Oh My Darling, Clementine的旋律,加上重複性高的歌詞和可替代的歌詞,使它成為家喻戶曉的Road TripSong。不過它也是一首很另類的童謠,歌詞觸及「死亡」,但其實天馬行空。記得我第一次聽的不只專心,還聽到瞠目結舌,最後莫名奇妙被戳到笑穴,笑趴在地。之後旋律和歌詞在腦袋裡飄了好久,有機會就喜歡哼哼這首歌。

這首歌不同版本有些微差異,比較普及的歌詞版本如下:

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now,
Just now I ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now.

Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now,
Just now I got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now.

Called the doctor, called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now,
Just now I called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now.

Penicillin, Penicillin,
Penicillin just now,
Just now I took Penicillin,
Penicillin just now.

Operation, operation,
Operation just now,
Just now an operation,
An operation just now.

Died anyway, died anyway,
Died anyway just now,
Just now I died anyway,
Died anyway just now.

Went to heaven, went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now,
Just now I went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now.

Wouldn't take me, wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now,
Just now Heaven wouldn't take me,
Wouldn't take me just now.

Went the other way, went the other way,
Went the other way just now,
Just now I went the other way,
Went the other way just now.

Didn't want me, didn't want me,
Didn't want me just now,
Just now they didn't want me,
Didn't want me just now.

Was a dream, was a dream,
Was a dream just now,
Just now it was a dream,
Was a dream, just now.

Then I woke up, then I woke up,
Then I woke up just now,
Just now I woke up,
I woke up just now.

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

 

呼,好長的歌詞,可是唱起來情緒起伏可大了,簡直可以當一部戲演,太妙

來看看Youtube裡的分享吧~

【註】想到要跟大家分享這首歌是因為上禮拜的故事班裡,我改編了歌詞,搭配在DavidMcPhailTheBear’s Toothache裡唱,很點題,也很容易跟。

the bear's toothache

我的改編歌詞如下:

I had a toothache, I had a toothache.

I had a toothache just now.

Just now I had a toothache,

And I had to see a doctor.
