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 And so he sent forth to hire me Well, I've traveled the mountains and I've traveled the sea But a never in my traveling days Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me Laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful And it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple Well, all the apples were hiding Frightened that they might be plucked And every time that somebody passed All except that one little apple ducked Well, I've traveled the mountains and I've traveled the sea But a never in my traveling days Have I ever seen a little apple smile at me Laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful And it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple Laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple Autumn is waiting, you'd better be careful For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple
