Nuts on the Table

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Crack in the kitchen, bowl on the chair Peanut shells gather like confetti there Cashew crescent, almond snap Pistachio green in a paper sack [Pre-Chorus] You take one, I take two Suddenly the bowl is through [Chorus] Nuts on the table, salt on my thumb Little brown treasures, here they come Sweet or roasted, toasted just right We keep reaching till the bowl says goodnight Nuts on the table, pass them around Best little crunch in the whole house now [Verse 2] Walnut halves with the ridges and seams Pecan sweetness in afternoon dreams Hazelnut hiding in chocolate cake Macadamia, one more for old time’s sake [Pre-Chorus] You take one, I take two Tell me, who was counting? Not you [Chorus] Nuts on the table, salt on my thumb Little brown treasures, here they come Sweet or roasted, toasted just right We keep reaching till the bowl says goodnight Nuts on the table, pass them around Best little crunch in the whole house now [Bridge] Save a handful for tomorrow? That plan disappears by noon Put the lid on, turn around once Hear the cupboard call you back soon [Final Chorus] Nuts on the table, salt on my thumb Little brown treasures, here they come Sweet or roasted, toasted just right We keep reaching till the bowl says goodnight Nuts on the table, pass them around Best little crunch in the whole house now [Outro] One last cashew, one last sound Empty bowl upside down
