[Verse 1]
I got a girl named Bony Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
Ought to see her rock and roll with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bone

[Chorus]
Well now I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy, now we gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree

[Verse 2]
I told her mama and her papa too
Just exactly what I'm gonna do
We're gonna get married on a night in June
Rock 'n' roll by the light of the silvery moon

[Chorus]
Well now I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy, now we gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree

[Verse 3]
She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire
She's a real up setter, she's a real live wire
Everybody's watching when my baby walks by
She's so good looking, really catches the eye

[Chorus]
Well now I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy, now we gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree

Well now I love her, she loves me
Oh how happy, now we gonna be
Making love underneath the apple tree

As the founding member of The Beatles, John Winston Lennon (1940-1980) is one of the most recognizable cultural icons of the 20th Century. He is also the other half of the Lennon-McCartney songwriting partnership, alongside fellow Beatle, Paul McCartney.

As a solo artist and through his relationship and collaboration with avant-garde artist Yoko Ono, he became just as recognizable for his political activism.

Lennon was murdered by Mark David Chapman on December 8, 1980, outside of his New York apartment, The Dakota. Since then, his music and message remain timeless.
