Letra Little Green Apples No.2 de Ben Colder original

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.'
