Little Green Apples Lyrics By Roger Miller

    well i wake up in the morning
    with my hair down in my eyes and she says ‘hi’
    then i stumble to the breakfast table
    where the kids are going off to school goodbye
    then she reaches out takes my hand and squeezes it
    and says ‘how you feeling hon’
    then i look across the smiling lips
    that warms my heart and see my morning sun

    and if that’s not loving me all then all i’ve got to say
    god didn’t make those little green apples
    it don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time
    and there’s no such thing as dr seuss or disney land
    or mother goose or nursery rhymes
    god didn’t make those little green apples
    it don’t rain in indianapolis in the summer time

    and when myself is feeling low i think about her face aglow
    to ease my mind

    sometimes i call her up at home knowing she’s busy
    and asked her if she can get away and meet me
    and grab a bite to eat
    and she drops what she’s doing hurries down to meet me
    and i’m always late
    but she sits waiting patiently smiles when she first sees me
    ’cause she’s made that way

    and if that’s not loving me all then all i’ve got to say

    god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t snow in indianapolis when the winter comes
    and there’s no such thing as make believe
    puppy dogs or autumn leaves no bb guns

    god didn’t make little green apples
    and it don’t snow in minneapolis when the winter comes
