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)
