I wrote my mother, I wrote my father
And now I'm writing you too
I'm sure of mother, I'm sure of father
And now I wanna be sure, very sure of you

Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, no, no, no
Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Otherwise we'll chop it, chop it down and keep you locked at home
Home, home, home, sweet home

Don't go walkin' down lover's lane with anyone else but me
Anyone else but me, anyone else but me, no, no, no
Don't go walkin' down lover's lane with anyone else but me
Otherwise we'll trip you, trip you up and send you right back home
Home, home, home, sweet home

Just got word from a guy who heard from the guy next door to me
There's a girl out there who just fix her hair
And can bring a man to his knees
So don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me
Otherwise we'll chop it, chop it down to keep you locked at home

Don't you sit under that tree with anyone apart from me
You'll never get away from me, no, no, not if you were using our tree
Why would you sit under that apple tree with anyone but me?
I'm by far the most beautiful girl you've ever seen, ever, ever seen

Don't you walk down lover's lane with anyone apart from me
'Cause If I see you walking down the lane someone other
That will be end of you and that's no lie
Don't go walkin' down lover's lane with anyone else but me
Or you'll go marchin' home

So don't go walkin' down the lover's lane
Oh, walkin' down the lover's lane if you want me
I've always been the jealous type, then we'll go arm in arm
Sit down under the apple tree, baby just you and me
Oh, you best believe we'll lock you up and throw away the key
