Everybody Loves a Nut - Johnny Cash

Everybody Loves a Nut - Johnny Cash 
2:04
Everybody Loves a Nut, 1966
Written by Jack Clement

This is a silly novelty song without the staying power or wit of, say, "The One on the Right is On the Left," which is on the same album  These lyrics tell of a caveman with a dead horse and a man who tried to put his pet tiger in a tank.  What do these poor saps have in common?  They're nuts!  Brains are in a rut! Like Columbus, who was.... uh, thrown out of Spain? by Queen Isabella for... saying the world isn't flat? Wait, what?  That didn't happen.  Well, they can't all be gems.  Even Cash's voice can't elevate this one.
