The Rotten Apple

Dsus2 A I was walking to school in the snow G A When along came a terrible blow Dsus2 A From out of nowhere a snowball hit me G A And behind a bush a boy laughed, “He, He, He” G A Oh, he’s such a rotten apple Bm D With his meanness I can’t grapple G A I hope someday he’ll change his ways Bm G ‘Cause that’s no way to play A Dsus2 A I was standing in the hall G A He pulled my pigtail for no reason at all Dsus2 A Why does he always bother me? G A Then run away laughing, “He, He, He” G A Oh, he’s such a rotten apple Bm D With his meanness I just can’t grapple G A I hope someday he’ll change his ways Bm G ‘Cause that’s no way to play A Dsus2 A I was in the library reading my book G A I looked over and that boy gave me a mean look Dsus2 A Then he ran behind the bookshelf G A Laughing, “He, He, He”, like a mean little elf G A Oh, he’s such a rotten apple Bm D With his meanness I just can’t grapple G A I hope someday he’ll change his ways Bm G ‘Cause that’s no way to play A That’s no way to play Dsus2 A While in music class singing my notes G A That boy put a note in my winter coat Dsus2 A I found it on my way home G A It had such a different tone Chorus 4 G A It said, “I am a rotten apple Bm D Being nice is something I can’t grapple G A Throwing snowballs at you and pulling your pigtails in the hall Bm G Is really no way to play at all G I’m sorry A G A I’ll try to be nicer tomorrow G A D Signed The Rotten Apple” Huh, now what do you think of that?
