It's Foolish But It's Fun - Deanna Durbin

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
