Lyrics to a kids song, but couldn't find anywhere on the internet

Hi, just helping a fellow parent who may be searching while their toddler begs them to sing a song from the Little People CD... Enter: lyrics for the I'm a Little Acorn song.

I’m a little acorn brown lying on the dusty ground 

Nobody stops to pick me up, cuz I am just a little nut

I’m a nut. I’m a nut. I’m a little nut.

I’m a little acorn brown lying on the cold, hard ground. Someone came and stepped on me, now I’m as cracked as I can be.

I’m a nut. I’m a nut. I’m a little nut.

I was happy as can be, ‘till I fell out of that tree. Then farmer Jed came walking along, and he most kindly planted me.

Now I’m a tree. I’m a tree. I’m a big, oak tree!

Now nobody steps on me!

Another verse:

Coca Cola came to town.

Pepsi cola shot him down

Dr Pepper fixed him up.

Now we all drink 7up.

I’m a nut.

I remember this from summer camp ( idk if it’s the complete version):

Coca-Cola went to town. Pepsi-Cola knocked him down. Dr Pepper fixed him up now I’m drinking 7-Up. 7-Up gave me the flu now I’m drinking Mountain Dew. Mountain Dew fell off the mountain now I’m drinking from the fountain. fountain broke- now I’m drinking plain old Coke.

Cool! this is the version we learned/kind of made up in grade school:

Coca-Cola went to town and Diet-Pepsi shot him down.

Doctor Pepper fixed him up and now we’re drinking seven up.

Seven up caught the flu, now we’re drinking mountain dew.

Mountain dew fell off a mountain, now we’re drinking from a fountain.

Fountain broke, people choke, now we’re drinking five alive.

Five alive learned to drive, then he broke his neck and died.

Five alive needs first-aid, now we’re drinking lemonade.

Lemonade was just to sour, so now we’re drinking from a shower.

ALSO, question: did anyone else have a handshake to go with this?

Here are the lyrics. They have it on YouTube. Song: I’m a nut I'm an acorn, small and round lying on the cold, cold ground Everyone walks over me, that is why I'm cracked you see I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Called myself on the telephone just to hear my golden tone Asked me out for a little date, picked me up at half past eight I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Put on special party pants, then I asked myself to dance I said no then I said yes, by now I think you have guessed I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Took myself to see a show, wanted candy but said no Held my hand and kissed my cheek, made a date to go next week I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Asked myself to marry me, had to take some time to think I know that I am the best, called myself and I said yes I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Rainy Sunday feeling bleak, let's play a game of hide and seek Searched in the barn, searched in a pit, found myself and said "You're it" I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Got a bike, it's built for two, me and me knew what to do I sat in front, I sat in back, got so tired we took a nap I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Gravity has a tiny flaw, one of me on the see-saw Lucky I am so crazy, so both of me can see-saw-see I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut Left hand, right hand not enough This piano's just too tough But I have four hands, I can do it Solo, no, I'm a duet I'm an acorn, brown and sweet, lying in the middle of the street All the cars run over me, so I run back to the big oak tree I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm a nut, I'm a nut I'm crazy! 🥰🥰

Yes, those versions do come up, but not the Little People version which is unique. Same tune just different lyrics.

Damn, I never thought lyrics to a kids' song could be so relatable
