Apple Tree

next song/previous song

Here comes a sweet one
What am I to do?
I take a look at him
He takes a look at me
And we take another bite from the apple tree

Here comes a bold one
I'm shy, he's bold as brass
He takes the bull by the horn
And makes a line like a bee
We take another bite from the apple tree

Here comes a cool one
Sometimes he's cold as ice
I know he's gonna thaw
He's gonna unfreeze
We take another bite from the apple trees

Here comes a sly one
He wants to change my ways
And so I say “you’re always right!”
I never disagree
We take another bite from the apple tree

And that forbidden fruit
Don't always taste so sweet
But on that tree the sourest apple's
Good enough.. to eat

From a bullfrog to a shellfish
From a reindeer to a snake
They get it when they can
They take it while it's free
They take another bite from the apple tree

And here comes a salmon
He's trying to find his way upstream
And so he swims against the tide
Trying to find a blushing bride
They take another bite from the apple tree
