I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me
And I'll be sick as I can be
It's foolish but it's fun

When thunderstorms put folks to rout
And no one dares to venture out
That's when I love to slush about
It's foolish but it's fun

If I should ever come to pass
That I inherit wealth
I'll eat and drink and dream at it 
Until I wreck my health

I'll never see the morning light
I'll sleep all day and dance all night
And though I know it isn't right
It's foolish but it's fun

Lots of people disagree with me
And possibly I'm wrong
But I gathered my philosophy
From the moods of a silly song
Yes possibly I'm wrong
Quite probably I'm wrong
But even if I'm wrong

I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me
And I'll be sick as I can be
It's foolish but it's fun

When thunderstorms put folks to rout
And no one dares to venture out
That's when I love to slush about
It's foolish but it's fun

If I should ever come to pass
That I inherit wealth
I'll eat and drink and dream at it 
Until I wreck my health

I'll never see the morning light
I'll sleep all day and dance all night
And though I know it isn't right
It's foolish but it's fun

I'll never see the morning light
I'll sleep all day and dance all night
And though I know it isn't right
It's foolish but it's fun

(R. Stolz / E. Marischka / G. Kahn)
