A little boy climbed an apple tree
Reached for an apple very solemnly
An angel spoke and the boy came down
And as he landed on the ground
Up jumped the devil, dressed in white
Up jumped the devil, so polite
And every time you turned around
Up jumped the devil in the white night gown
He said son, why don't you listen to me
Let me push you back up that apple tree
What you get your hands on, belongs to you
Whose gonna miss an old apple or two
The devil's words stuck in his bean
The boy ate the apple and the apple was green
And after that he lay awake
All night long with a tummy ache
Mommy, my tummy hurts
Mommy, Mommy, my tummy hurts
I understand son
But you shouldn't have ate those green apples
I know what happened
Up jumped the devil, dressed in white
Up jumped the devil, so polite
Now when temptation gets you down
Don't listen to the devil in the white night gown
