Applesauce
(Tune: “Yankee Doodle”)
Peel an apple,
cut it up,
cook it in a pot.
When you taste it
you will find
it’s applesauce you’ve got!

(Tune: “Yankee Doodle”)
Peel an apple,
cut it up,
cook it in a pot.
When you taste it
you will find
it’s applesauce you’ve got!
(Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)
Have you ever seen an apple, an apple, an apple,
Have you ever seen an apple that grows on a tree?
A red one, a yellow one, a red one, a yellow one.
Have you ever seen an apple that grows on a tree?
(Tune: “Do You Know the Muffin Man?”)
Oh, do you know the apple man,
the apple man, the apple man?
Oh, do you know the apple man
who likes to play with me?
Oh, he has a great big smile,
a great big smile, a great big smile,
Oh, he has a great big smile
and likes to play with me.
Way up high in the apple tree (reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Five little apples smiled down at me (Put fingers on cheeks make smile or make circles with hands and put around eyes, like pretending to have binoculars)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake the tree)
Down came the apples (bring hands down wiggling fingers, like failing rain)
Mmmmm, they were good! (rub tummy)
Way up high in the apple tree
Four little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!
Way up high in the apple tree
Three little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!
Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!
Way up high in the apple tree
One little apple smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came that apple
Mmmmm, it was good!
Now the apples are all gone!
(Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down”)
See The Apples Falling Down
Falling down, Falling Down
See The Apples Falling Down
Down To The Ground
Pick The Apples And Throw Them Up
Throw Them Up, Throw Them Up
Pick The Apples And Throw Them Up
Up To The Sky
(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)
Apples juicy, Apples round,
On the trees and on the ground.
Apples yellow, Apples red,
Apple juice or pie or bread.
Apples crunchy, Apples sweet,
Apples are so good to eat!
(Tune: “Eensy Weensy Spider”)
Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground.
Down came the soft rain, falling all around.
Out came the sun as bright as bright could be
And that little apple seed grew to be an apple tree!!
Ten red apples grow on a tree.
Five for you and five for me.
Let us shake the tree just so.
Then the apples will fall below:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Five red apples hanging in a tree
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
Four red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
Three red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
Two red apples, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apples you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
One red apple, hanging in a tree,
The juiciest apple you ever did see.
The wind came by and gave an angry frown
And one little apple came tumbling down.
No red apples hanging in a tree.
Here is the tree with leaves so green,
Here are the apples that hang in between,
When the wind blows, the apples will fall,
And here is a basket to gather them all.
Here is the tree with leaves so green,
(Stand with arms stretched out like branches)
Here are the apples that hang in between,
(Make hands into fists to be apples)
When the wind blows, the apples will fall,
(Sway back and forth and shake fists)
And here is a basket to gather them all.
(Form a circle with arms out in front)
