I'm a Nut

I'm an acorn, small and round
Lying on the cold, cold ground
Everyone walks over me
That is why I'm cracked you see

I'm a nut!

Called myself on the telephone
Just to hear my golden tone
Asked me out for a little date
Picked me up about half past eight

I'm a nut!

I'm a nut!

Took myself to the movie show
Stayed too late and said : Let's go
Took my hand and led me out
Drove me home and gave a shout!

I'm a nut!

I'm a nut!
(Click, click with tongue)
I'm a nut!
