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's the tale the apple tree
Told the bumble bee
One night in June

[2nd verse:]
Said the bumble bee to the apple tree
"Gee, but your tale was dandy
I'll remember you, if you tell it to
My little brother Andy
I would give a pile just to see him smile
You know he's always gloomy"
Said the apple tree "Just leave it to me
Go on bring your brother to me
