Takes a lot of little nuts

To make a jar of peanut butter

'Cause one peanut in a jar

Really doesn't go too far

Gotta crack and shell and mix 'em

There's no other way to fix 'em

Takes a lot of little nuts to do the job



Dump the peanuts from the bag

And start 'em on that old conveyor

Get 'em roasted and assorted

Don't have any time to spare

Please don't think I'm being pushy

Make all real soft and mushy

Takes a lot of little nuts to the job



A little salt, a little sugar

Makes the goo taste really good

Keep it pumping through the pipeline

Like a peanut butter pumper should



Takes a lot of little nuts

To make a jar of peanut butter

Now they're ready, squirt 'em in

Put the lid on, watch 'em spin

In the boxes nice and steady

Ship 'em out, hey world we're ready

Takes a lot of little nuts to get things done

Takes a lot of little nuts

And a lot of hard work

Before the peanut butter's done
