I Am a Nut
Yes, I might be a big peanut,
Sitting in a small hut.
But maybe I could be what?
Maybe I should be a walnut!
If I were a big brown chestnut,
I would want to be a coconut!
If I were a mutt owned by good King Tut,
Then with clean fur I'd strut and strut!
If I were a girl, my tangled hair would not be cut!
If I were a boy, going home I'd take a shortcut!
But I am still a dreaming little nut,
Sitting on my cold butt!

我是一個核果
我或許是粒大花生
坐在小小的陋室裡
但我還能是什麼?
搞不好是個胡桃
若我是顆棕色大栗子
我就會想要當個椰子
若我是善良塔特王的雜種狗
有乾淨皮毛我會昂首闊步走
若我是個女孩,一頭亂髮不會被剪掉
若我是個男孩,回家路上我要抄捷徑
可我仍是愛做夢的小核果
正坐在自己冷冷的屁股上
