Salt Peanuts

"Salt Peanuts" is a bebop tune reportedly composed by Dizzy Gillespie in 1942, credited "with the collaboration of" drummer Kenny Clarke. It is also cited as Charlie Parker's. The lyrics have no meaning. However, they are a skat/bebop vocal which matches the octave note interval played predominantly throughout the song. more »

It feels like summertime when I wear my yellow dress
It feels like summertime when you kiss me on the neck
It feels like summertime when I hear my mama say
Don't stay today, stay today
Just got away, got away

Uh I was about to leave here all my fame
I was about to leave here all my strength
I was about to forget where I came from
I was about to, I was about to

And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway
And I felt all alone, all alone

It feels like summertime, I can't wait to melt with you
Cause you are mine and I'm all yours for one week or two
And all the magic of the sun cames on me and makes us one
No place for hiding this time
No place to run, run, run,ru-un

I was about to leave here all my fame
I was about to leave here all my strength
I was about to forget where I came from
I was about to, I was about to

And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway
And I felt all alone, all alone

But how much time will you have to let me burn 
And everytime you come around there's no return
I slowly let my anger turn to just concern
But then one day you'll be surprised of things I've learned
The clarity to see and stop, that's all I've earned
The closer you get to the fire
Closer you get to the fire
Closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
It was grey I was ready for the game
And I felt all alone that day
Could you stay? Why standing in the doorway
And I felt all alone, all alone
Yeah I felt all alone
