Lyrics

I'M AN ORANGE, AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE
LOOKIN' OUTTA PLACE, FEELIN' KINDA GREEN
NOT USED TO ALL THE RAIN AND SNOW
NOT SURE WHEN TO COME OR GO
BUT I KNOW IT'S WHERE I GOTTA BE
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE

THIS BRANCH I'M HANGIN' ON HAD BETTER BE STRONG
'CAUSE IT JUST MIGHT TAKE ME REALLY LONG
TO FINALLY FIGURE OUT
WHAT CHASIN' DREAMS IS ALL ABOUT
AND FIND THE PATH THAT'S RIGHT FOR ME
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE

I LEFT CALIFORNIA FOR NEW YORK CITY
WITH IT'S BAGELS, NIGHT LIFE AND GRAFFITI
WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE THAT MUCH
SO EVERYONE GOES CRAZY WHEN IT DOES

'THO I'M OVER THREE THOUSAND MILES FROM HOME
I HARDLY EVER, EVER FIND MYSELF ALONE
THERE'S LOTS HAPPENIN' EVERYWHERE
AND LOTS OF REAL FRIENDS WHO CARE
WHO'VE MADE ME PART OF THEIR FAMILY
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE

EVERYONE HERE IS DRESSED IN BLACK
BUT IF YOU SMILE AT 'EM, THEY SMILE RIGHT BACK
THEY'LL SHOVEL YOUR SIDEWALK WHEN IT SNOWS
AND LIGHT A FIRE FOR YOU WHEN YOU GET OLD

SO FOR THE MOMENT I'M HAPPY BEIN' WHERE I AM
SOMETIMES TO MOVE AHEAD, YA GOTTA TAKE A STAND
LIFE'S WAY TOO SHORT TO GO TO WASTE
GOTTA MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR EVERY DAY
SO CLIMB ON UP AND HANG ALONG WITH ME
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE
AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE

AN ORANGE IN AN APPLE TREE
RIGHT WHERE I'M WANNA BE...
