Apple Tree

Standing like a statue in a
Yellow field
Everyday we run out towards the
Apple tree

And tigers chase us ‘round the trunk they’re
On our heels
But they never seem to catch us ‘neath the
Apple tree

Look at me
Lucky me
I’m as happy as can be
When I’m swinging from the branches
Of a great big apple tree

You say you wanna sail the world, well
Come with me
We leave at 4, so all aboard this
Apple tree (All Aboard!)

You can be the Captain at the
Steering wheel
We’re a pair of Megallens
Ahoy! We’ll be yelling from high atop the
Apple tree

Look at you
Look at me
We’re as happy as can be
We’ll sail around the world on this
Great big apple tree

Linger at the bus stop
And I’d walk you home from school
You’d let me hold your textbooks
Paper, pens, pom poms, and rulers
We carved our names into the bark
Set inside the shape of a cartoon heart
All underneath that great big tree

Apple, apple tree
Apple, apple tree
Apple, apple tree-eee

Where’s my apple tree?

These days the cat wakes me
For her morning Fancy Feast
While the coffee pot starts grumbling
For just one more hour sleep
And in the distance I can hear that rush hour revelire
(Honk Honk Beep Beep)
Well it’s waiting there for me
But I think I’m gonna be
Climbing right on top of my great big apple…

Tree tops and the hillocks
Were an Emerald City green
The kind of days that make the Oxford poets spill their ink
I’m rushing to write down those memories fickle as a wink
So hold on tight now to the
Great big apple, great big apple, great big apple
Tree

You said that there’s no more magic left
Well, you shall see
I wave a wand and we’ll hop upon this
Apple tree
It turns into a dragon with a
Hundred wings
And he roars, and he soars
Over mountains and shores
Over medieval castles and kings

Lucky you
Lucky me
We’re as happy as can be
When we’re flyin’ on the back of this
Great big apple
I’m not coming down from this
Great big apple
You can leave me here with my
Great big apple tree
