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 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 a little apple 
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful, 
For it will bring you down 
If it ever sees you wearing a frown 

So laugh, laugh a little apple 
Well all the apples were hidin' 
Frightened that they might be plucked 
And everytime 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 a little apple 
Autumn is waitin', you'd better be careful, 
For it will bring you down 
If it ever sees you wearing a frown 

So laugh, laugh a little apple
