Backstory:

This song was written in honor of my grand-son Demetrius for his 12th birthday,  July 8, 2008.  I watched the movie "Good Will Hunting" and always teased Meachie with the line from the film, "How do you like them apples?"  He hates it when I do that, but I hope he likes this song.  The apples mentioned are real varieties and only a few from the vast selection that exist in this wonderful world.

Lyrics:

                                                  
You Like Apples

Chorus:	
God said to Adam,
You like apples,
I give them away free,
You like apples,
Pick a few for Eve,
You like apples,
Eat from any tree except this one,
'Cause you’ll have to leave the orchard,
How ya' like them apples son.

Verse:		
I got a Honey Crisp a Granny Smith and an Arkansas Black
I got Macintosh the Jonathan and Northern Spy out back,
Try the Cortland or Gravenstein the Mutsu or Newtown Pippin, 
How 'bout a Red Delicious or a Rome the Spartan or a Norfolk Biffin.

Chorus:	(repeat)

Verse:	
Did I mention our Rhode Island Greening,
The Brown Snout and the Laura Red,
A Tydemans Late Orange or an Early Courtland,
Oh there’s a Spitzenburg  and the Flower of Kent,
They’re crispy and they’re crunchy,
They satisfy the munchies,
An apple a day keeps the doctor away,
So you better eat a bunchies.

Chorus:	
God said to Adam,
You like apples,
You got them all for free,
You like apples,
You picked a few for Eve,
You like apples,
You weren’t supposed to eat from this one,
Now you’ll have to leave the orchard,
How ya' like them apples son.

Adlib:		
And if I change my mind,
I'll send someone.
