 Delilah, the dancer from Soho

Was making her way down the lane

Simpson from Harrow

Had fruit on his barrow

He sold it for love and for gain



Simpson said, "Hello, young woman

My Pippins are lovely today

Don't be suspicious

Of Golden Delicious

Whatever your granny might say"



There only apples, red and green

Apples, lovely, ripe and juicy and especially for
you

Right off me barrow, me old cock sparrow

Apples, red and green



Delilah, the dancer from Soho

Took ages to make up her mind

Simpson said, "Madam

You'd know if you'd 'ad 'em

That these are the very best kind"



"This is the pick of the orchard

Forgive me a figure of speech

But apples like these here

Just don't grow on trees, dear

And this one is really a peach"



There only apples, red and green

Apples, lovely, ripe and juicy and especially for
you

Right off my barrow, my old cock sparrow

Apples, red and green



Simpson picked out a green apple

He polished it up on his sleeve

He said, "Do me a favor

And savor the flavor

Of what you're about to receive"



Delilah the dancer from Soho

Accepted his gift with a smile

She said, "It looks like a good 'un

It'll do for my pudden

I'll get round to it after a while"



There only apples, red and green

Apples, lovely, ripe and juicy and especially for
you

Right off my barrow, my old cock sparrow

Apples, red and green
