"I'm a Nut" is a 1966 Country novelty song by humorist Leroy Pullins (1940-1984). It was his only hit.

"I'm a Nut" reached number 18 on the U.S. Billboard Country chart. It also crossed over to the pop charts of the U.S. and Canada, peaking at number 57 on the U.S. Hot 100 and number 71 on the Canadian RPM.

The song is frequently misattributed to Roger Miller, who never recorded the song. Pullins was, however, both an admirer and imitator of Miller.
