Peanu(t)s: Part 1 

Come and look into my eyes, Charlie Brown,
And please tell me what you see there,
That is, if you really dare,
Come and climb inside my Giant Underwear, 
And I'll take you on a journey...

So, where shall we go to Charlie, where?
Let's revisit all the fun we had
At Donkeyville last year;

When I travelled there in secret 
And I dressed up like a hippy,
And you didn't recognise me,
I made you go flip-di-dippy,

And you thought I was your girlfriend!
Oops! That could have been quite funny,
Though it wasn't my intention 
To get oats and cream and honey,

I'd already had my breakfast,
And your peanuts make me queasy,
With the gin, the bin, the ketamine,
You made it really easy,

'Cause everyone was pumped up
On the dub and bass and drumming,
You got busted by my ambush,
And you didn't see me coming...

Let me hammer up my brainbox,
Let me toke a virtuous herb,
Wanna hammer up my pelvis?
Donkey boy! Do not disturb!

As I told you several years ago,
You are a grabby pest,
And you gave me opportunity 
To put this to the test,

I was curious if covert ops
Would make your balls turn blue,
So I Kansas City Shuffled it,
You didn't have a clue,

All your bafflement and bluster,
It was really most revealing,
Rat-trapped in your tiny trailer,
Touch yer toes and touch the ceiling,

And you think that you know everything, your expertise extol,
Except... I had metamorphasised, was out of your control,
So I really put the "boo!" in boom, and put the "own" in town,
And you're a failed Ferris Bueller, Charlie Brown.

Big Up

🥜 “So I Kansas City Shuffled it” — referring to an elaborate con involving misdirection.

The storyline of the 2006 film Lucky Number Slevin uses a “Kansas City Shuffle” as the primary plot device. As Mr. Goodkat mentions, “A Kansas City Shuffle is when everybody looks left, you go right.” The origin of its name is revealed when a cover version of the song, performed by J. Ralph, plays at the end of the film. An item of interest regarding the Kansas City Shuffle is that while you’ve been reading this I’ve been fucking your mom. [by i.am.ichi July 3, 2010]

🥜 “Touch yer toes and touch the ceiling” — direct quote from ‘Has It Come To This?‘ from Original Pirate Material (2002) the debut album by English rapper and producer Mike Skinner under the music project The Streets:

I'm giving your bird them feelings,
Touch yer toes and touch the ceiling
