10 Aug 02 - 01:14 PM (#763050) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Peach in Orange New Jersey From: Jim Dixon The correct info is: "I Found a Peach in Orange New Jersey (In Apple Blossom Time)" Lyric by Edward Heyman Music by Harold Spina © 1942 (Renewed) Edwin H. Morris & Company, A Division of MPL Communications, Inc. The web site of the Monterey Bay Area Cooperative Library System says you can order a copy of the sheet music through your local public library. (Sounds too good to be true; they have a huge collection.) |

He was from New York, worked in the UPS Maspeth Hub. I remember "When it's apple blossom time in Orange, New Jersey, Honeydew be mine." I wish I could remember the rest of it. |

I used to have an old 78rpm record of this song until it fell off of my bed. It names probably 2 dozen fruits. Unfortunately when that record fell off of my bed, so did Der Fuhrer's Face! |

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".
