[Spoken Intro] Well now… little trainer... You don’t need a cauldron, You don’t need a gem— Just a cozy little kitchen And an apple sweet as well! [Verse 1] First, find an Appleen in an orchard green, The tiniest dragon you’ve ever seen. Curled in a fruit with a leaf on his head, Rock him in a basket, tuck him into bed. Don’t shake the branches, don’t make a fuss, The ripest little apples will come to us. Let the warm sun work, let the old tree sway— Good things grow sweeter when you give ’em a day! [Pre-Chorus] So roll up your sleeves, And follow the rhyme: A pinch of love And plenty of time! [Chorus] One sweet apple, round and red, A little warm sunshine overhead. Mix it slow—one, two, three! Save a tasty slice for me! Wee hee hee! One sweet apple, soft and fine, A drop of rain and a little sunshine. No need to hurry, no need to run— Slow and sweet is twice the fun! [Verse 2 — The Recipe] Take one Appleen—small as a crumb, Add one Sweet Apple when harvest comes. Turn it to the left, then turn it to the right, Let the dragon take one great big bite! Add cinnamon laughter, honeybee hums, Tap on the table like little toy drums. Fold in a breeze from the Galaar hills, Then wait while the kitchen with sweetness fills! [Call and Response from only one kid] What do we add? One sweet apple! How long do we wait? A little while! How do we know? When the crust turns gold— And Appleen wakes with an Appletun smile! [Chorus] One sweet apple, round and red, A little warm sunshine overhead. Mix it slow—one, two, three! Save a tasty slice for me! One sweet apple, soft and fine, A drop of rain and a little sunshine. No need to hurry, no need to run— Slow and sweet is twice the fun! [Bridge] His back turns golden, his cheeks grow round, A sugary fragrance floats all around. His eyestalks droop and his belly goes “plop”— When Appletun sits, well… Appletun stops! He may not be speedy, he may not be tall, But he’s warm as an oven and kind to us all. If trouble comes knocking, he’ll stand by your side— With a dragon’s brave heart in an apple-pie hide! [Breakdown — Spoken Recipe] One Applin… One Sweet Apple… A spoonful of patience… And absolutely no rushing! Now stir it once, Stir it twice, Give that little dragon Something sweet and nice! [Final Chorus] One sweet apple, round and red, A flaky little roof upon his head. Mix it slow—one, two, three! Look who’s waking up for tea! One sweet apple, soft and fine, A drop of rain and a little sunshine. No need to hurry, no need to run— Slow and sweet is twice the fun! [Outro] So if life gets bitter, Here’s my advice: Add a little sweetness, Add a little spice. Share what you’re given, Let worries unwind— And take this old world… One sweet apple at a time. [Softly Repeated] One sweet apple at a time… One sweet apple at a time…
