APPLESAUCE

Sung to: "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!

APPLES ARE A'BOUNCING

Sung to: "Shortening Bread"

Apples are a'bouncing
Bounding, bouncing.
Apples are a'bouncing
All around.
Apples are a'bouncing,
Bouncing, bouncing,
Shake the apple tree -
All fall down!

FIVE RED APPLES

Five red apples in a grocery store;
Bobby bought one, and then there were four.

Four red apples on an apple tree;
Susie ate one, and then there were three.

Three red apples.  What did Alice do?
Why she ate one, and then there were two.

Two red apples ripening in the sun;
Timmy ate one, and then there was one.

One red apple and now we are done;
I ate the last one, and now there are none.

DO YOU KNOW THE APPLE MAN?

Sung to: "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.


While singing this song, let the children take turns holding the Apple Man puppet.  Allow them to make up additional verses about him and his adventures.
