charles strouse / martin charnin – apples كلمات اغاني
[intro]
and the lights come up on four apple sellers, with their apple carts, singing to the passersby:
[verse]
i used to buy my cufflinks at cartier
i owned a marble mansion at oyster bay
i farmed a thousand acres near derien
apples, apples two for ten
i was the brightest broker at merill lynch
i make or drop a bundle, and never flinch
knew benjamin cardozo, i called him “ben”
apples, apples two for ten
[chorus]
we all had butlers, we all had cooks
we all had tailors, we all had looks
“hey, weren’t you the guarantee of manhattan banks?
you’re in my spot there, buddy, move it…thanks.”
[verse]
once we were proud as peac_cks and smart as whips
once it was remy martin and filter tips
now we’re a seedy army of broken men
apples, apples two for ten
[chorus]
we sailed to europe; we rode we shot
we had three chickens in every pot
“hey, weren’t you the owner of that triple crown nag?
before you toss that b_tt away, gimme a drag.”
[verse]
they’re hiring kitchen helpers at swedish grill
it ain’t ideal employment, it pays the bills
it’s anything around, pal, to stay alive
apples, apples
apples, apples
two for five!
