[Dixielandjazz] "Stealin' Apples"

[Gluetje1 at aol.com]

Good luck with that, Bill.  I like the lyrics and I bet for most it  would 
bring a memory of stealing an apple or two--maybe not with kisses  included, but 
still---

STEALIN' APPLES (1936. Waller-Razaf)
Verse:
I was  always taught that it was wrong to be a thief.
He who took his neighbour's  good would surely come to grief.
There's exceptions to the tune I  guess,
What I used to take bought happiness.

Chorus:
Apple time  was always time for stealin',
Just to be with you was so  appealin'
Takin' chances,
Stealin' Apples with you.

We would wait  and catch the farmer nappin',
In his orchard anything could  happen,
Takin' chances,
Stealin' apples with you.

I could hardly  wait until you would bite one,
For it meant a kiss if it was the right  one.
What a joy dear, it would be,
If I could find myself once more back  in wildwood,
Takin' chances,
Stealin' Apples with you.

Kind  regards,
Bill.
