lyrics
Apples and Cheese
When I was a boy I wasn’t very bright
I didn’t know much but I knew what I liked
When Teacher sang the A B C’s
All I could sing was “apples and cheese”
[CHORUS]
Apples and cheese, apples and cheese,
Some sing praise for carrots and peas,
But nothin’ in the world can make a man say please
Like a great big plate of apples and cheese
When time came to learn about the birds and the bees,
My father shared his expertise
“Son, there ain’t no guarantees,
Except for the joys of apples and cheese”
Cortlan, Granny Smith, Macintosh and Macoun
Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Swiss, Provolone
You’ll never find me on a hunger strike
For I never met an apple or a cheese I didn’t like
When I get to heaven let me tell you what I’ll do
I’ll be singin’ in the choir with the angels who
Raise their hands from bended knees
And praise the lord for apples and cheese
When I was a boy I wasn’t very bright
I didn’t know much but I knew what I liked
When Teacher sang the A B C’s
All I could sing was “apples and cheese”
[CHORUS]
Apples and cheese, apples and cheese,
Some sing praise for carrots and peas,
But nothin’ in the world can make a man say please
Like a great big plate of apples and cheese
When time came to learn about the birds and the bees,
My father shared his expertise
“Son, there ain’t no guarantees,
Except for the joys of apples and cheese”
Cortlan, Granny Smith, Macintosh and Macoun
Cheddar, Gouda, Brie, Swiss, Provolone
You’ll never find me on a hunger strike
For I never met an apple or a cheese I didn’t like
When I get to heaven let me tell you what I’ll do
I’ll be singin’ in the choir with the angels who
Raise their hands from bended knees
And praise the lord for apples and cheese

about
Tom Smith Boston, Massachusetts
“Folk music is still a living tradition that feeds on new songs that speak of people’s wants, needs, struggles and triumphs. Tom Smith is a man who writes songs that seem like they’ve always been there. There are very few songwriters working today that I would call folksingers, but I would call Tom Smith a true folksinger.” – Dave Palmeter, WUMB-FM Boston ... more
