Little Green Apples #2

"Little Green Apples #2"



And I come home late at night and try to tiptoe in the room, and she says "My My"



And I stumble over the rocking chair and my forehead hits the floor at night. It smarts.



And as she's standing over me she gives me such a look and I try to hide my bloodshot eyes, I know my goose is cooked. And I say "Honey...I can explain this...

I've been eating little green apples and I think maybe a little nap will do me good."



She said "All the noise you're making Ben, is going to wake up the neighborhood."



But I said "Honey I've been eating little green apples and a lay my forehead in your lap will make me fine."



And now myself is feeling low and I look into her eyes aglow and so am I.



"Hey Honey ya know I learned a new dance tonight. Do you wanna know what it's called? Do you know what it's called?" "No" "It's called The green apple quickstep...it's a real goer."



"Now Ben don't come home with drinking on your mind"



"Aw shucks I didn't mean it."



"What do you mean coming home half drunk?"



"It's the truth I ran outta money, that's what."



"Okay Ben it's time for you to go to bed." "I might as well, I'll be in trouble when I get home anyway." "Aw honey you know I wasn't meaning that. All I was doing was..."



"I've been eating little green apples and I think a little nap will do me good, so put a cold towel on my head and put old Big Ben to bed, I wish you would...I wish somebody would."
