[Intro] In the place where the sunlight fades Through the back door down the stairs Past the iron underpants Next to the sunbathing machine Stood a red apple... [Chant] A dark blue apple A fuchsia apple A turquoise apple (An indigo apple A gray apple) A sea green apple A yellow apple A forest green apple (An orange apple A lime green apple) A crimson apple A brown apple A violet apple (A white apple A lavender apple) [Spoken Word] And the Great Fruit Scientist Whose belt was made of pool noodles Held a glimmering plastic spork Above his head and shouted: ("Yes! I have found the perfect apple The one I will wear on my head For this day and this day only!") [Story] The apple was the red apple The color of which was not important Nor was its taste It was neither the biggest apple nor the smallest apple It was neither the most fragrant apple nor the least fragrant apple The most significant thing about the red apple was that it existed [Chorus Chant] And thus the Great Fruit Scientist said ("The red apple will do!") And thus the blue apple will do And thus the fuchsia apple will do And thus the turquoise apple will do ("And thus the indigo apple will do And thus the gray apple will do!") And thus the sea green apple will do And thus the yellow apple will do And thus the forest green apple will do ("And thus the orange apple will do And thus the lime green apple will do!") And thus the crimson apple will do And thus the brown apple will do And thus the violet apple will do ("And thus the white apple will do And thus the lavender apple will do!") [Bridge] Because the universe Is the only fruit (And thus all things are fruit And all fruit is perfect) And thus all things are perfect And thus nothing is perfect (Because all things are perfect And thus all things are nothing) And thus nothing is everything And thus everything is nothing And thus nothing is nothing (And thus nothing is fruit And thus fruit is nothing) [Outro] And thus fruit is fruit And thus everything is everything (And thus everything is fruit And thus fruit is everything) And thus fruit is nothing And thus nothing is everything (And thus everything is nothing And thus nothing is nothing) AND THUS EVERYTHING?
