Lyrics Michael Franks – Underneath The Apple Tree

Underneath the apple tree
Mama’s got her eye on me
Just wearing suntan lotion
This is how we spend each day

Sunning in our birthday suits
Eating that forbidden fruit
It’s like perpetual motion
The dogs are sleeping in the shade
Guess we really got it made

Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple tree

Underneath the apple tree
We can snooze so peacefully
Hear those bluebirds blowing
We can hear those mockingbirds up high
Trading eights

If the radiation’s strong we can turn the sprinkler’s on
And we can run right through ’em
We drink tea instead of wine
We shoot up with summertime

Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple tree

Got ourselves a little tent, ‘case the weatherman calls for showers
Someone’s phone is ringing but I don’t think it’s ours

Dog’s are sleeping in the shade
Guess we really got it made

Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple
Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple
Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple tree

Got ourselves a little tent, ‘case the weatherman calls for showers
Someone’s phone is ringing but I don’t think it’s ours

Dog’s are sleeping in the shade
Guess we really got it made

Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple
Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple
Mama Lion and me down underneath the apple tree
