Apple on a Stick
Apple on a Stick
Hand Clapping Rhyme
Apple on a stick,
Makes me sick,
Makes my heart beat 246.
Not because you're dirty,
Not because you're clean,
Just because you kiss the boys
Behind the magazine.
Girls, boys having fun
Here comes a lady with a big fat bum;
She can wiggle; she can wobble
She can do the splits
I bet you 5 dollars she can't do this;
Close your eyes and count to ten,
If you mess it up you're a big fat hen.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
You're a big fat hen!
Notes
Alternate ending:
You didn't muck it up so you're my best friend.

Apple on a stick that makes me sick
That makes my heart beat 2-4-6
Not because I'm crazy, not because I'm weird,
Not because I kissed the boy behind the magazine
Girls, boys having fun here comes a lady with a big fat bum
She can do the wibble, wobble
She can do the splits
I betcha, I betcha she can't do this
Now close your eyes and count to ten
If you muck it up you're not my friend
*Closes eyes*
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
(If not mucked up) you didn't muck it up so you're not my friend
(If mucked up) you mucked it up so you're not my friend
And that's the end of chapter ten!

Here's another version we received:
Apple on a stick that makes me sick
and makes my heart go 2-4-6.
Not because I'm dirty not because you're clean,
just because you kissed a boy behind the magazine.
Girls, boys have a lot of fun,
and here comes a lady with a big fat bum,
she can wiggle, she can woggle,
she can even do the splits but I bet she can't do this....
Close your eyes and count to ten,
if you didn't mess it up, your my best friend.
(Close eyes and say) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Fail-- you messed it up so you're not my friend and this is the end of chapter ten!
Did properly-- you didn't mess it up so you're my best friend and this is the end of chapter ten!
THE END!
