Farmer Brown had ten green apples, hanging on a tree,
Farmer Brown had ten green apples, hanging on a tree.
He plucked one apple and ate it greedily -- YUM, YUM, YUM!
Leaving nine green apples, a-hanging on a tree.

Farmer Brown had nine green apples, hanging on a tree,
Farmer Brown had nine green apples, hanging on a tree.
He plucked one apple and ate it greedily -- YUM, YUM, YUM!
Leaving eight green apples, a-hanging on a tree.

(Continue until there is one apple left)
...He plucked that apple and gave that one to me -- MMMM!
Leaving no green apples, a-hanging on a tree.
