Songtext 1 2 3 apple tree Herman Dune

1 2 3 apple tree

do, do, do do do, do

do, do, do do do, do

do, do do do do do

Oh, when you call me weird names and make all kinds of weird faces

when you drive me along to all the stupidest places

you know it's not fair, but you know what you do

because you know how bad I like to be with you

...And then you're like, "David, it's like one, two, three"

as you're climbing barefoot on the apple tree

it is as sweet as me, and as good as new
and you know how bad I like to be with you

You should try to go to some place, honey,

where the weather is hot, and the music is funny

you should try down south, by the magic Bayou

and you will know how bad I like to be with you

It's like the better path, and it's a better way

if we never part, and if we never stray

if we know we have each other to hang on to

and if you know how bad I like to be with you

When I'm home alone, and when I'm traveling far,

when I'm riding my bike and when I'm driving in my car,

it could be England or it could be Peru

and you would know how bad I like to be with you

Well you know better than me on all kinds of topics

like what fruit is native, what fruit is exotic,

you know the right names for flowers and for animals, too

I hope you know how bad I like to be with you

do do do, do, do, do do do, do

do, do, do do do, do

do, do do do do do

Well, you play the trumpet and I play drums

you smoke cigarettes and I chew gum,

you say we're different and I believe it's true

because you know how bad I like to be with you

It's not even an option,

it's not a matter of choice

I could say it with words

and I could say it with my voice

I could sing it in a song or play it on a kazoo

and you would know how bad I like to be with you

You say you dye your hair black since you were seventeen

and you say it goes well with your eyes so green

well, I'm losing my hair and my eyes are blue,

you know how bad I like to be with you

...And now you think you're puzzled,

and you don't understand me

well you can play me as easy as a DVD,

it's like solving a case with a single clue

to know how bad i like to be with you

You know I'll always like you no matter what

and if you get a little chubby,

and if you're a little too fat

if you worship Jesus when I am a Jew

then you will know how bad I like to be with you

...And you know how people shorten other people's names

to show their affection

like if you called me Ray, if my name was Raymond

well your name ain't Susan but I would call you Sue

to show you how bad I like to be with you

do do do, do, do, do do do, do

do, do, do do do, do

do, do, do do do, do

do, do do do
