Lyrics

Underneath the apple tree Mama's got her eye on me Just wearing suntan lotion This is how we spend each day May, June, and July 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
