The Acorns Roll

Acorns fall and roll away (roll away)
 School kids sift and sort and trade (trade)
 Green turns brown and shades of golden (golden)
 Autumn mornings out collecting
 And the children play under the old oak trees
 And the acorns roll
 Well the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 But the acorns roll
 I'll give you five that I hid right here (right here)
 Milly says wait I gotta a few more there
 I'm gonna fill my lunchbox full
 Harry says whatcha gonna eat them too?
 Polly says bury them save them in the ground
 Next year we'll count the ones that sprout
 Acorn fever in the senior school
 And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 But the acorns roll
 And the children play under the old oak trees
 And the acorns roll
 Johnny says I owe you one (just one)
 Mary says well we've just begun (begun)
 Poppy says there's too many to count
 Dylan says well I'll help you out (five, six, seven, eight)
 And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 But the acorns roll
 One time, a kid walked home
 Backpack full of them acorns rolled
 Dropping out pockets all the way back down
 Falling in the earth on the driveway brown
 Little while later on sprouted two
 Mama says little one what we gonna do?
 Concrete truck will be coming any day
 Dear little oak trees just can't stay
 Cos the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 But the acorns roll
 And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 But the acorns roll
 Well the little kid got a bucket and spade (bucket and spade)
 Two little oak tree seedlings saved (saved)
 Planted in the field by the beehives (beehives)
 And the years go by (and the years go by)
 And the children play under the old oak trees
 And the acorns roll
 And the apple doesn't fall too far from the tree
 And the acorns roll
 Acorns fall and roll away (roll away)
 School kids sift and sort and trade (trade)
 Green turns brown and shades of golden (golden)
