you must try to lead a good life
you must do unto others
as you would have them do
so that when you die
you'll find golden boy peanuts
waiting in the afterlife for you
there are no pan-asain supermakets
down in hell
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
there are no pan-asain supermakets
down in hell
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
yeah
if thine enemy oppresses you
you must
let him opress you some more
so that when you go shoping in paradise
you'll find those magnificent peanuts
from singapore
with the drawing of the
young chinese farmer
eastern sun behind him
smiling at you from the shelves
if we want to spend eternaty in happynes
we are going to have to watch ourselves
you must give to the march of dimes
you must be on gaurd against wickednes
at all times
and you will
find that your efforts
have brought you great joy
when your
spirit is munching on that
golden boy
there are no pan-asain supermakets
down in hell
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
there
but the
streets of heaven are lined with shells
and there's billboards of the golden boy
everywhere
there are no pan-asain supermakets
down in hell
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
there are no pan-asain supermakets
down in hell
so you can't buy golden boy peanuts
go!
*spoken*
you must try to lead a good life

Completely pointless lyrically but still genius in every way.
'if thine enemy oppresses you
you must
let him opress you some more'
seems critical in that regard. As does the childishness of the promised reward and the didactic tone (all the 'you must's). It seems Darnielle is satirising religion promising rewards in the afterlife in return for obedience to a church-prescribed lifestyle in this life. Oh, and it IS damn funny :).
And it's fucking genious!

this song isnt about anything other than the peanuts.
it isnt a joke, and it isnt a plug, he is just singing about peanuts that he ate as a child.
