Swap a Coin for an Apple

(Horns up — one-two — here we GO!)

[KID] Red apple on the fruit-stand, shinin' in the sun, I want it, I want it, can I GRAB it and run? Seller wag his finger — "No-no, little man, you don't grab the apple, here's how it ran:"

[KID] SWAP your coin, get the thing! (hey!) SWAP your coin, get the thing! (hey-HEY!) Drop it in his hand — CLINK! — that's how every swap-swap go!

(brass STAB! — boom-boom!)

[KID] Shake out the jar — rattle-rattle-RING! Pull one shiny coin, now WATCH what it bring — he take my coin, I take my treat, apple in my hand — red and sweet — CRUNCH! (oh yeah!)

[KID] SWAP your coin, get the thing! (hey!) SWAP your coin, get the thing! (hey-HEY!) Drop it in his hand — CLINK! — that's how every swap-swap go!

[KID] Coin for a ball — BOING! — bounce it on the street, coin for a slice of pie, three claps for the beat! (clap-clap-CLAP!) Coin ain't for keepin' on a shelf to shine — coin's a little TOOL, so the picker pick the line!

(sousaphone DROP — bwomp-bwomp-bwomp!)

[KID] SWAP your coin — (get the thing!) SWAP your coin — (get the thing!) SWAP your coin — (get the thing!) one CLINK, one CRUNCH, MINE!

(strut it out, second-line, ALL together now —) SWAP your coin, get the thing! (HEY!) ...apple gone — ssssmile on my face. CRUNCH.
