The Laughing Apple

    Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree
    An apple tree,
    Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree
    And the man who owned it wanted it to be picked
    So he sent for to hire me
    Well, I’ve travelled the mountains, and I’ve travelled the sea
    But never in my travelling days
    Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
    Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
    Autumn is waiting and you’d better be careful,
    and it will bring you down
    If it ever sees you wearing a frown
    So laugh, laugh a little apple
    Well all the apples were hiding
    Frightening that they might be plucked
    And every time that somebody passed
    All except that one little apple ducked
    Well, I’ve travelled the mountains, and I’ve travelled the sea
    But never in my travelling days
    Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me!
    Laugh, oh laugh a little apple
    Autumn is waiting and you’d better be careful,
    and it will bring you down
    If it ever sees you wearing a frown
    So laugh, laugh a little apple
