The Apple Seed Song

Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground

Down came rain, falling all around

Out came the sun as bright as it could be

And that little seed

It grew up to be an apple tree

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree

Four little apples smiled at me

I shook that tree as hard as I could

Down came the apples mmm….were they good

(continue song and count down until you reach 1)
