Selling nuts! Hot nuts!
Anybody here wanna buy my nuts?
Selling nuts, hot nuts

Selling one for five, two for ten

Selling nuts, hot nuts,

From Rosetta LP 1308. Somehow I believe these meat balls are in some sense metaphorical. Just like those nuts, come to think of it... Now what did she really mean...
Got out late last night, in the rain and sleet Tryin' to find a butcher that grind my meat Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat Cause I'm wild about my meat balls A no good man but he's so doggone stout Before he starts to grindin' he's all worn out Somebody send me a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat Cause I'm wild about my meat balls He can clean my fish, even pick my crabs But what I need is my meat ground bad Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat Cause I'm wild about my meat balls You can have your roast chicken and your good lamb stew But for my choice them old meat balls will do Somebody send me a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat Cause I'm wild about my meat balls Now look here papa, don't try to stall If you can't grind a long time, don't grind at all Yes I'm lookin' for a butcher He must be long and tall If he want to grind my meat Cause I'm wild about my meat balls
