[STYLE] country rock, Party, upbeat, enhance chorus to give the song a punch. very upbeat. [Verse 1] Lockport, New York, October sky Ann and Katie let the morning roll by Sister Kathy, cousins Haley and Kylie in the lane Picking red apples after last night's rain Gold on the branches, a crisp little breeze Laughing and reaching through the old apple trees One more basket, one more to go They filled up the wagon till it rode real low [Pre-Chorus] They counted the bushels, looked at the load Then Ann just grinned, “Well, there’s one thing we know” [Chorus] APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Too many apples? We know what to do! APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Peel ’em and cook ’em till the whole crew’s through! John takes the peeler, Ann gets the jars Katie brings pots from the kitchen afar Nick’s got a plate and a hungry grin— APPLE SAUCE! Let the good times begin! [Verse 2] Back home, Ann said, “John, don’t be mad, We picked too many—and it’s quite a haul we had. What are we gonna do with all of this fruit?” John hollered back, “APPLE SAUCE!”—NOW, that’s a great plan! “I’ll peel every apple,” he called from his chair Ann grabbed the canning jars from the cupboard downstairs Katie got the pots and pans stacked in a row Nick said, “Save me a taste when it’s ready to go!” [Pre-Chorus] The kitchen got busy, the big pot steamed A fall-day harvest turned into a dream [Chorus] APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Too many apples? We know what to do! APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Peel ’em and cook ’em till the whole crew’s through! John takes the peeler, Ann gets the jars Katie brings pots from the kitchen afar Nick’s got a plate and a hungry grin— APPLE SAUCE! Let the good times begin! [Bridge] Kathy, Haley, Kylie, come on inside There’s room at the table, pull up a chair From orchard baskets to jars in a row A little more laughter with every batch to go [Final Chorus] APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Lockport picked it, now pass it around! APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) Sweet fall goodness from the trees to the town! John keeps peeling, Ann fills the jars Katie keeps stirring, Nick guards the bars— One more spoonful, let everybody sing: APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! [Outro] APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) APPLE SAUCE! (Hey!) From the orchard to the kitchen—APPLE SAUCE!
