{male vocals}

 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 marchin' 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

 Till I come marchin' 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-tee

 So, don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me

 Till I come marchin' home

{female vocals}

 Don't give out with those lips of yours 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 marchin' 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're gettin' the third degree

 When you come marchin' home

 You're on your own where there is no phone and I can't keep tab on you

 Be fair to me, I'll guarantee this is one thing that I'll do

 I won't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but you

 Till you come marchin' home

{all}

 Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me

 I know the apple tree is reserved for you and me

 And I'll be true till you come marchin' home
