The little boy and the little girl in an ecstacy of bliss
Said the little boy to the little girl "Pray give me just one kiss"
The girl drew back in great surprise "You're a stranger sir" said she
"But I will give you just one kiss, when the apple grows on the lilac tree"

The boy felt very sad at heart, she was the only one
The girl felt quite remorseful, at the terrible wrong she had done
So bright and early on the very next morn, he was quite surprised to see
His little sweetheart standing in the garden
Tying apples on the lilac tree.
