I wrote my mother, I wrote my father
And now I'm writing you too;
I'm sure of mother, I'm sure of father,
Now I wanna be sure of you.

[chorus 1]
Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree
with anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me, No! No! No!
Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree
with anyone else but me
'till I come marching home
Don't go walkin' down lover's lane
with anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me, No! No! No!
Don't go walkin' down lover's lane
with anyone else but me
'til I come marching home

I just got word from a guy
who heard from the guy next door to me,
The girl he met just loves to pet
and it fits you to a "T."
So, Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree
with anyone else but me
'til I come marching home

[chorus 2]
Don't give out with those lips of your
To anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me,
Anyone else but me, No! No! No!
Watch the girls on the foreign shores
You'll have to report to me
When you come marching home
Don't hold anyone on your knee
You better be true to me
You better be true to me
You better be true to me
Don't hold anyone on your knee
You'll get the third degree
When you come marching home
You're on your own where there is no phone
And I can't keep tabs on you
He said to me, "I'll guarantee, there's one thing that I'll do,
I won't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but you
Anyone else but you
Till you come marching home
