Autumn Leaves are Falling Down

(Tune: London Bridge is falling down)
Autumn leaves are falling down,
Red and Yellow,
Orange and Brown,
Whirling, Swirling all around
Down, Down, Down.

Here's a little apple tree.

Here's a little apple treeHold up arms as branches
I look up and I can see, Shade eyes and pretend to search
Big red apples, ripe and sweet, Cup hands as though holding a very large apple.
Big red apples, good to eat. Rub tummy--yum, yum!
Shake the little apple tree.Put arms up for branches and sway back and forth.
See the apples fall on me.Bring hands down as though they were falling.
Here's a basket, big and round.Form circle with arms in front of body.
Pick the apples from the ground.Bend and pretend to pick up apples.
Here's an apple I can see,Hold out hand as though holding apple
Waiting there just for mePoint to chest.
It's ripe and sweet.
That's the apple I will eat.Rub tummy--yum, yum!
