Apples bananas pears and peaches
Apples bananas pears and peaches
Tell us old man what you got to teach us?
Turtles crawl and pigs don't fly
Ollie's in free and so am I
Apples bananas pears and peaches
Tell us old man what you got to teach us?
Clouds are up in the atmosphere
But my old bones are stuck down here
All that's old one time was new
Fresh and clean like the morning dew
Full of life and fire and charm
Living high and keeping warm
Apples bananas pears and peaches
Tell us old man what you got to teach us?
Youth is wasted on the young
I'm old with songs yet unsung
Spirits going where they will
Stuck in fleshly, earthen shells
Learning isn't what we do
We die and we fail to renew
Apples bananas pears and peaches
You got some hollerin' and some screaches
Why are you so down old man?
I'm sitting out here with a frying pan
Biscuits, griddle cakes coffee bacon
All these things that I am makin'
I hope that you do better than me
I'm ready to go now one two three!
Apples bananas pears and peaches
Old man what you have to teach us?
Giving out and giving in
And trying to avoid your sin
Give it all away my son
Because you can't keep it when you're done!
