I wish I was an apple a hangin' in a tree   Wish you were another one a hangin' there by me   Wish I was a bluebird a flyin' in the sky   Wish you were another one a flyin' by my side      Well, I wish I may and I wish I might    Have my wish come true   For if I had three wishes   I would wish 'em all for you.      --- Instrumental ---      I wish I was a flower a blooming every day   And every morning you would come pick me for your bouquet   Wish I was a whippoorwill with voice so clear and bright   I'd sit outside your window and sing you to sleep at night.      Well, I wish I may and I wish I might    Have my wish come true   For if I had three wishes   I would wish 'em all for you.      --- Instrumental ---      Wish I was a speckled trout a swimmin' in a brook   And if you had a fishin' pole I'd jump upon your hook   Wish I was the evenin' star for everyone to see   I'd shine a little brighter every time you look at me.      Well, I wish I may and I wish I might    Have my wish come true   For if I had three wishes   I would wish 'em all for you...
