“Found a Peanut” is a traditional kids’ song that’s very popular in the English-speaking world, from United Kingdom to the U.S.A., Australia and Canada. A version of the song is also popular in Israel. The lyrics are in repetitive form, which makes them easy to memorise, hence it’s a kindergarten favourite. The cheerful song borrows the melody from “Oh my Darling Clementine”.
The origins of this song are uncertain; It was mentioned in a 1945 issue of the Florida Flambeau as an “old song” from “high school days.” A few years later, it appeared in the 1949 film A Letter to Three Wives by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.

Lyrics
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.
