The Peanut Vendor

THE PEANUT VENDOR (El Manisero)

Don Azpiazu

English words by Marion Sunshine and L. Wolfe Gilbert

music and Spanish words by Moises Simons

Four versions charted in 1931: Don Azpiazu (#1); California

Ramblers (#5); Red Nichols (#5); and Louis Armstrong (#15)

Armstrong re-issued it in 1941 and hit # 25.

In Cuba, each merry maid

Wakes up with this serenade

Peanuts! They’re nice and hot

Peanuts! I sell alot

If you haven’t got bananas, don’t be blue

Peanuts in a little bag are calling you

Don’t waste them, no tummy ache

You’ll taste them when you awake

For at the very break of day

The peanut vendor’s on his way

At dawning that whistle blows

Through ev’ry city, town, and country lane

You’ll hear him sing his plaintive little strain

And as he goes by to you he’ll say:

«Big jumbos, big double ones

Come buy those peanuts roasted today

Come try those freshly roasted today!"BR Peanuts! I sell alot,

BR"Peanuts! We’ll meet again

BRPeanuts! This street again

BRPeanuts! You’ll eat again

BRYour peanut man.
