Lyrics
(Sung to the tune of Clementine) 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 sick Got sick Got sick just now Just now I got sick Got sick just now
I died I died I died just now Just now I died I died just now
Went to Heaven Went to Heaven Went to Heaven just now Just now I went to Heaven Went to Heaven just now
Kicked an angel Kicked an angel Kicked an angel just now Just now I kicked an angel Kicked an angel 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
Met the devil Met the devil Met the devil just now Just now I met the devil Met the devil just now
Played him cards Played him cards Played him cards just now Just now I played him cards Played him cards just now
Devil cheated Devil cheated Devil cheated just now Just now Devil cheated Devil cheated just now
Beat him anyway Beat him anyway Beat him anyway just now Just now I beat him anyway Beat him anyway just now
Got reborn Got reborn Got reborn just now Just now I got reborn Got reborn just now
Found a peanut…. (Song repeats)

This is a never ending song, where it goes on until someone chases the leader off. Where I saw it used was at a summer camp where it’s introduced the first or second day and is brought up again a few more times by the original leader. Loved by younger scouts, dreaded by older scouts and adult leaders.
