Dear Moila, the dancer from Soho Was making her way down the [F] lane
Simpson from Harrow Had fruit on his barrel
He sold it for love and [Bb] for gain Simpson said, I'll owe you one
My pippins are lovely [Eb] today [F] Don't be suspicious of golden delicious
Whatever your granny might [Bb] say They're [Eb] only
Red and [Bb] green
[Eb] Lovely, [F] ripe and juicy and [Gm] especially for [Eb] you
Blood of the Barak The old [Bb] folks' Barak
Ah, Red and green
[Bb] Dear Moila, the dancer from Soho Took ages to [G] make up her [F] mind
Simpson said, Madam, you'd know if you'd had them That these are the very best [Bb] kind
This is the pick of the orchard Oh, give me a figure of [Eb] speech
[F] But apples like these here Just don't grow on trees, dear
And this one is really [Bb] a peach They're [Eb] only
Red and [Bb] green
[Eb]
[F] Lovely, ripe and juicy [Gm] and especially [Eb] for you
Blood of the Barak [Bb] The old folks' Barak
Ah, Red and green
When Simpson picked out a green apple He polished it up on [F] his sleeve
He said, Do me a favour and savour the flavour Of what you're about to [Bb] receive
Dear Moila, the dancer from Soho Accepted his gift with [Eb] a smile
She [F] said, It looks like a good'un Here, do for my pudding

Blood of the Barak The old folks' [Bb] Barak
Ah, Red and green
