Red Apple Lesson


Monkey loves music so having a few apple songs gets him in a good mood.
SONGS: LITTLE APPLES (Sing to the tune of "Ten Little Indians")
One little, two little, three little apples,
Four little, five little, six little apples,
Seven little, eight little, nine little apples,
All fell to the ground.

SONGS: (Sung to the tune of "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 frowns on a tree?
