I wish I was a big red apple
Hanging on an apple tree
And every time my love passed by
She'd take a little bite off me

She's got lips that taste like honey
Eyes like the deep blue sea
Golden hair that hangs in curls
And she's saving all her love for me

I wish I was a butterfly
I'd light on my love's breast
And if I was a nightingale
I'd sing my love to rest

She's got lips that taste like honey
Eyes like the deep blue sea
Golden hair that hangs in curls
And she's saving all her love for me

Let the rain come down and the wind blow high
Let the storm rage all the time
I won't care about the frost and snow
For I know that she'll be mine

She's got lips that taste like honey
Eyes like the deep blue sea
Golden hair that hangs in curls
And she's saving all her love for me

I wish I had a jug of wine
Some brandy and some beer
I wish I was sitting in a lonesome spot
With my arms around my dear

She's got lips that taste like honey
Eyes like the deep blue sea
Golden hair that hangs in curls
And she's saving all her love for me

If I was a king and very, very rich
With diamonds, jewels and furs
I'd give it all up for one little kiss
From those ruby lips of hers
