once there was an acorn that fell out of a tree
once i was out walkin' and an acorn fell on me
i reached right down and put that acorn in my pocket
i put it in a safe place
when i got home and i locked it
i got an acorn i got an acorn
i guess you could say i am a great big nut
i got an acorn a great big acorn
i don't think that i'll put it in my gut
but anyway it's the kind of song you sing
when you've got an acorn on a string
and you're walking round your yard
and anyway it's the kind of song you make up
when you're trying to bake a cake up
for your acorn friend bernard
once there was an elephant pulling branches from a tree
once i was out walking and an elephant saw me
i didn't know quite what to do when it began to charge
but then i remembered my acorn friend bernard
i got an acorn i got an acorn
i guess you could say i am a great big nut
i got an acorn a great big acorn
i don't think that i'll put it in mine
but anyway it's the kinda song you sing
when you put an acorn on a string
and you swing it round and round
and anyway it's the kind of song you make up
when you throw that acorn straight up and knock
that elephant down
now that that was finished
i got my acorn back
we made our way back home
and we stopped off at the track
we watched the greyhounds run all day
and won a couple bucks
cause when you've got an acorn friend
you'll always have good luck
i got an acorn
i got an acorn
i guess you could say i am a great big nut
i got an acorn
a great big acorn
i don't think that i'll put it in my
i don't think that i'll put it in my
i don't think that i'll put it in my shoe
