LYRICS
[Intro]
Hello there, Paul!
I had a take and I listened to it
And I was ready to send it and I thought:
You know? It can be done better
So here it is, then
Now I'm wearing my boots
Which always guarantees a good showing
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts
There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts
[Verse 2]
If thine enemy oppresseth you
You must let him oppress you some more
So that when you go shopping in paradise
You'll find those magnificent peanuts from Singapore
With the drawing of the young Chinese farmer
The eastern sun behind him smiling at you from the shelves
If we want to spend eternity in happiness
Well we're gonna have watch ourselves
You must give to the March of Dimes
You must be on guard against wickedness at all times
And you will find that your efforts have brought you great joy
When your spirit is munching on that Golden Boy
[Chorus]
There are no pan-Asian supermarkets 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
[Chorus]
There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts
There are no pan-Asian supermarkets down in hell
So you can't buy Golden Boy peanuts... GO!

“There are no Golden Boy peanuts left in this world as far as anyone can tell. But if I can just get spiritual with you for a moment, the song says that in hell-hell, the place of eternal suffering and torment, the place where no happiness can be found-that’s the place where no Golden Boy peanuts are. But it’s also been further observed that we now all, you and I, your parents, your friends, your enemies, strangers, all live in a place where there are no such peanuts." -- JD 02.20.2020 Swedish American Music Hall
he must’ve been wearing his boots, it always guarantees a good showing.
Hello there, Paul.
I had a take and I was ready to send it, but then I thought: you know, it can be done better.
So, here it is then. Now I'm wearing my boots, which always guarantees a good showing
this song gives me some wild type of emotion that doesn't exist.
got me feeling in shrimp colors
It's called horny
I like to think it's called hope.
Welcome to The Mountain Goats my friend.
I think I could say that about pretty much every one of the songs from this session
Dont be a good person because of god, because its the right thing to do, or because youre a good person, do it for the Golden Boy
You’ve missed the point of the song :)
Hail Satan!
I never thought I'd be moved by a song that says nut so many times 🥜💛
I am so happy to hear a studio recording of this. This is one of my favorite songs from the Mountain Goats lo-fi era and hearing it in studio is really exciting.
But John....were you wearing your boots here??!
My favourite of the Jordan Lake sessions versions!
This is so underrated. One of my favorites. Can't ever not hear the intro from the record
Because of that intro I always feel better about my chances when I'm wearing boots.

Always guarantees a good showing
It’s so rad to see old songs being pulled out and re recorded like this
This was my first Mountain Goats song! (Not counting the Jawbreaker cover that I actually heard first) 🥜 ❤️ I still love it so much
That jawbreaker cover rules!!
The joy is even more transcendent in video form
theres something so fulfilling about seeing the band doing what they do best. it helps me get into the music
Love this, right up to and including the Lisa Simpson sax outro
Lisa Simpson outro 😂
YOU’RE SO RIGHT
The freaking sax, take me awaayyy
well played, i love this old song!
my favorite
a classic
This is my favorite on the album
Yeah!
I'm sorry JD but this song is good!
It's SO good.
I know John has had his issues with this song, and that's fine. But for me this is not only one of The Mountain Goats' greatest songs ever, but one of the greatest songs period. It stirs something inside of me that few other songs can.
I love this fucking amazing brilliant masterpiece.
Love the Lisa Simpson riff at the end!
I couldn't help but think about the exchange in the Independent full concert (ua-cam.com/video/Zy82iwzTCEA/v-deo.html) :
"This next song is really old."
crowd goes "YEAH"
"You say 'Yeah', but there were a lot of old songs that were bad."
"GOLDEN BOY!"
"No, not that one."
When they finally invent the best drug, one that helps you see stoplights in time and be kind to your asshole dad, it's gonna feel a lot like this song.
I'm ded af 😂💕
Its funny that the decription of this video uses the lyrics from the original one. The intro part at least
Who would have thought we'd live in a world where the fan favourite he will play is the much ranted about Golden Boy and not the decade long set closer Going to Georgia?
Does the saxophone have a matte finish?
I dig the sax in tmg songs now, earlier a sax I would have dug less
It's just unpolished
I see what you did there
This song made me buy peanuts.
I use to love peanuts so they broke all my teeth
👦 🥜
Let me tell you about life…..
And apparently no experiation dates in heaven (ironic cuz everyone there has expired)
Maybe we are in hell?
Maybe????
I did the math and yes.
first
Hello, kevin.

This is so underrated. One of my favorites. Can't ever not hear the intro from the record
