Artist: Cat Stevens   Title: 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 forth to hire me       Well, I've travelled the mountains,    and I've travelled the sea    but a never in my travelling 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 travelled the mountains,    and i've travelled the sea    but a never in my travelling 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
