Apples And Bananas

Words & Music:

Traditional American

 

C                                           G7

I like to eat, I like to eat, I like to eat apples and bananas!

G7                                          C

I like to eat, I like to eat, I like to eat apples and bananas!

 

A more familiar version goes:

C                                    G7

I like to eat, eat, eat apples and bananas!

G7                           C

I eat, eat, eat apples and bananas!

 

 

Now, the song becomes like the Three Stooges' "Alphabet Song".  You change the vowel sounds in each verse to each long vowel sound in turn:

 

Ay layke tay ate, Ay layke tay ate,

Ay layke tay ate ay-pulls aynd bay-nay-nays.

Ay layke tay ate, Ay layke tay ate,

Ay layke tay ate ay-pulls aynd bay-nay-nays.

 

Ee leek tee eat, Ee leek tee eat,

Ee leek tee eat eeples eend beeneenees.

Ee leek tee eat, Ee leek tee eat,

Ee leek tee eat eeples eend beeneenees.

 

Eye like tie eit, Eye like tie eit,

Eye like tie eit eyeples eind by-nye-nyes.

Eye like tie eit, Eye like tie eit,

Eye like tie eit eyeples eind by-nye-nyes.

 

Oh loke tow oat, Oh loke tow oat,

Oh loke tow oat ohples ohnd boh-noh-nohs

Oh loke tow oat, Oh loke tow oat,

Oh loke tow oat ohples ohnd boh-noh-nohs

 

Ooo luke too oot, Ooo luke too oot,

Ooo luke too oot ooples oond boo-noo-noos.

Ooo luke too oot, Ooo luke too oot,

Ooo luke too oot ooples oond boo-noo-noos.

 

Okay, now that you've done this version, make up one of your own with other foodstuffs!
