Lyrics
One night in June when the silv’ry moon
Shone down in all its glories
Said a bumble bee, to an apple tree
Let’s tell each other stories
‘Twill be like a show, telling what we know
Think of the fun we’re missin’
Said the apple tree, If it’s up to me
Just open your ears and listen
Chorus
A he and she were seated under me
Said the apple tree, to the bumble bee
Soon they drew up closer
The rest I fear I’ll have to whisper in your ear
I saw them um, um, um, um, um, um, um
Beneath the silv’ry moon
That the tale the apple tree
Told the bumble bee, one night in June
