The Laughing Apple - Yusuf Islam

Once in a summertime garden lived a little apple tree

And the man who owned it wanted it to be picked

And 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, laughing apple

Autumn is waiting, you’d better be careful

And it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown

So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple

Well, all the apples were hiding

Frightened that they might be plucked

And every time 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, laughing apple

Autumn is waiting, you’d better be careful

And it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown

So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple

Laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple

Autumn is waiting, you’d better be careful

For it will bring you down if it ever sees you wearing a frown

So laugh, oh laugh, laughing apple
