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
