Deanna Durbin It's Foolish But It's Fun
I love to climb an apple tree
Though apples green are bad for me
And I'll be sick as I can be
It's foolish but it's fun
While wise men seek your time and space
And get all wrinkled in the face
From loafing in some shady place
It's foolish but it's fun
If it should ever come to pass
That I inherit wealth
I'll eat and drink and drink and eat
Until I wreck my health
I love to ramble over lea
And chase the busy bumble bee
Though the bee may light on me
It's foolish but it's fun
When thunder storms put folks to rout
And no one dares to venture out
That's when I love to slosh about
It's foolish but it's fun
I like to be on friendly terms
With pollywogs and mangle worms
And all the very deadly germs
It's foolish but it's fun
I love to sit beside a brook
And wait for fish to bite
And though they never do
It's nice to think perhaps they might
While others climb the mountains high
Beneath the tree I love to lie
And watch the snails go whizzing by
It's foolish but it's fun
I want to sing, I want to waltz
My heart is doing somersaults
I love this world with all its faults
It's foolish but it's fun
I want to walk a garden wall
Especially a wall that's tall
And if I fall, I fall that's all
It's foolish but it's fun
I want to climb a steeple
And I want to ring a bell
So I can tell the people
That I like them all so well
The grass is green, the sky is blue
The cows go moo, the cuckoos coo
I want to be a cuckoo too
It's cuckoo but it's fun
