The Waltzing Walnut

Liner Notes
#baritoneuke #fingerpicking #melodica
Not a waltz, but a song about a waltz. And various kinds of nuts.
Lyrics
The old walnut was debonaire and he loved ballroom dancing so he asked the pretty almonds, the young pecans and the lovely cashews to dance the waltz with him
But one of the husbands, a macadamia nut was a jealous maniac so he got his gang of peanuts to attach the walnut with a nutcracker
"What are you, nuts?" asked the walnut in disbelief and that was the last thing he remembered he survived but he's a mere shell of his former self and doesn't waltz any more

The walnut roasting the other nuts with "what are you, nuts?" so meta, love it! I'm not sure if you meant it, but I also see a nut pun in "maniac", as "mani" is the spanish word for a peanut or ground nut, so maybe the macadamia nut is jealously peanut-like and fits right in with his gang of lackeys.

The beauty of FAWM is sometimes in the lyrics, metaphors.

Bravo! That was equal parts beautiful and ridiculous. Everything worked so well together.
