The Shire Apple Tree Song



Climb up a tree, you know what they say
An apple a day keeps the healer away
No better place than Appledores
Even some apples in the grass for your horse
So pick one from the branches and start munching

A gentle breeze goes through the leaves
Wonderful weather for apple thieves
In Appledores are apples for all
For hungry hobbits no tree is too tall
So pick one from the branches and start munching

An apple here, an apple there
All are sweet and juicy, come and pick your share
But these are all for me, here on this Shire apple tree
And when I'm through, all apples gone
I jump down in the grass and I am moving on
Cause standing next to me is another Shire apple tree

Dub dahdahdahdub deedubdub
Dahdahdahdub deedubdub, dubdeedahdub

I'm sitting here, up on the tree
And down in the grass a shrew is looking at me
I finish my apple, throw down the core
And that was what the shrew was waiting for
It snags the apple core and starts munching

Appledores is just the place for me
Appledores, there I could sit all day on a Shire apple tree

My belly rumbles, I'm taking a break
But on this tree are much more apples to take
So pick one from the branches and start munching

An apple here, an apple there
All are sweet and juicy, come and pick your share
But these are all for me, here on this Shire apple tree
And when I'm through, all apples gone
I jump down in the grass and I am moving on
Cause standing next to me is another Shire apple tree

More apples, more apples

An apple here, an apple there
All are sweet and juicy, come and pick your share
But these are all for me
But these are all for me
But these are all for me, here on this Shire apple tree

((Original song: Lemon Tree by Fool's Garden
it is played best on a pibgorn. Actually the only song so far that does sound nice on this instrument, and even better than with any other intrument.
Since the player cannot sing at the same time, an extra singer is needed.))
