I'M STILL SITTING UNDER THE APPLE TREE
(Sammy Cahn / Saul Chaplin)

Doris Day - 1947
Vaughan Monroe & The Moon Maids - 1947


Six long years ago
My Johnny upped and marched away
He simply said, "I love you so
And I'll be back one day"

Well, I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

The apples are ripe on the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Apples are ripe on the apple tree
Oh, where can my Johnny be

I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War

I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

(Orchestral Break)

I just got a letter from Paris
It said "just a few weeks more"
I'm thinkin' of going to Paris
Just to tell him we won the War

I'm still sittin' under the apple tree
The apple tree, the apple tree
Still sittin' under the apple tree
With nobody else but me

How many apples can you eat!
