Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I Found a Peach in Orange New Jersey
I have additional lyrics and slightly different version , don't know the source.

I found a peach in Orange, New Jersey in apple blossom time
There was a great big lemony moon
and the date i picked. i'll pick again soon
Blueberry eyes, strawberry lips
made me feel sub-lime
And in the lucious midnight air
everybody said, as they stop and stared
"Orange" you a sugary pear
I found a peach in Orange, New Jersey in apple blossom time

You can have your tangerines, your mangoes down in New Orleans,
or all of the papaya in "Hawaii-a".
You can even have a half an avacado ..
Apricots and Honey-dew and everything from Kalamazoo
The State of California prunes that grow as big as toy balloons or
take a trip to Tripoli for melon,
You can row to Rome and home and roam again,
You can look around you can stop and shop but i found the pick of the crop
when i found a peach in Orange, New Jersey in apple blossom time
