Paroles de Crunchin' Walnuts With My Teeth

Ever since I been a little child,
I been crunchin' walnuts with my teeth,
And that accounts for my unusual smile,
I been crunchin' walnuts with my teeth,
And while other kids was goin' to school,
Learnin' 'bout tools and learnin' 'bout rules,
I was sittin' by myself, playin' it cool,
Just crunchin' walnuts with my teeth.

Well, I met a little girl at the general store
While I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth.
She said, "I see you're the one for me,"
So we went and got married immediately.
I spent my honeymoon romantically
Crunchin' walnuts with my teeth.

Now one night as I was returnin' to my house,
I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth.
I heard some fella, he was lovin' my spouse,
While I was crunchin' walnuts with my teeth.
And I peeked in the window and he come into view,
He weighed three hundred pounds, stood seven foot two,
So I did what any red-blooded American boy would do,
Crunched a walnut with my teeth.

Now my whole lifelong philosophy A-crunchin' and a-munchin' like we never did before,
And you know nobody's gonna go to war,
Crunchin' walnuts with their teeth.
