I’m a Little Apple (to the tune of “I’m a Little Teapot”)

I’m a little apple
Short and round
I make a crunchy
Munchy sound
If you bite into me
You will see
I’m delicious
As can be

Two Green Apples

Way up high
In an apple tree
Two green apples
Smiled at me.

So I shook that tree
As hard as I could
And down fell the apples
Mmm, mmm, good.

Serve with apples.
