Squirrel Nut Zippers es un grupo de música de jazz formado en 1993 en Chapel Hill, (Carolina del Norte, EE.UU.) formado aplicando la filosofía Hazlo tú mismo a la música popular americana de principios del siglo XX.
El nombre de la banda procede de la marca comercial Nut Zippers, de la empresa de dulces Squirrel. El producto en cuestión era un caramelo de cacahuete que salió a la venta a mediados de los años 20.

[Verse] Am Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise EAm This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes: Am Rooms were made for carpets Am Towers made for spires EAm Ships were made for cannonade to fire off from inside them
[Chorus] Dm Gwine to run all night Am Gwine to run all day EAm Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no, no, no! Dm Gwine to run all night Am Gwine to run all day EAm Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no, no, no!

[Verse] Am Met the Ghost of Stephen Foster at the Hotel Paradise EAm This is what I told him as I gazed into his eyes: Am Ships were made for sinking E Whiskey made for drinking EAm If we were made of cellophane, we'd all get stinking drunk much faster ha, ha, ha
[Chorus] Dm Gwine to run all night Am Gwine to run all day EAm Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day, no, no, no! Dm Gwine to run all night Am Gwine to run all day EAm Camptown ladies never sang all the doo dah day!
