Текст песни The Laughing Apple - Cat Stevens , Yusuf Islam

Slowly let me tell you a story of a tree
An apple tree

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!

So laugh, laugh, little 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, laugh, little 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!

So laugh, laugh, little 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, laugh, little apple

Laugh, laugh, little 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, laugh, little apple
