BAD APPLE



Some people call me a bad apple

Well I may be bruised but I still taste sweet

Some people call me a bad apple

But I may be the sweetest apple on the tree



I've got the notion to tell you about my history, people

I've got the notion to tell you about how I came up in the world yeah

Look listen to the record

I'll admit I have been lazy

And I've been called crazy

In my time I've played and played

But I can get down

And quit foolin' around

When the weather gets rough

Situation gets tough



Some people call me a bad apple

Well I may be bruised but I still taste sweet

Some people call me a bad apple

But I may be the sweetest apple on the tree



Some people call me a bad apple
