Louis Armstrong

You're the apple of my eye
You're luscious and you're sweet
You're the apple of my eye
You're sweet enough to eat

Now since we met
I always get that certain feeling
And furthermore I love you
For you're so appealing

You're the apple of my eye
Your kisses are delish
They're tastier, yeah, than homemade apple pie

I'll hang around your orchid
Till I win your heart
'Cause you're the only apple
In my apple cart

I'm gonna shake your tree
Until you fall for me
'Cause you're the apple of my eye

Now look here Velma
You know, you're the apple of my eye too, baby
You're luscious and you're sweet
You're the apple of my eye
You're sweet enough to eat

Now since we met
I always get that certain feelin'
(Me too)
And furthermore I love you
For you're so appealing
(Sure)

You're the apple of my eye
You're kisses are delish
They're tastier than a homemade apple pie

Now dig this Velma
Now speakin' of your history or so they say
If I ate an apple
That'd keep that old doctor away
(You bad man)

Gonna shake your tree
Until you fall for me
'Cause you're the apple of my eye
(Hey pops, dig this)

You're the apple of my eye
Apple of my eye

When Adam ate that apple
Darlin', I believe
That this is just exactly
What he said to Eve

Well dig this, pops, I'm gonna shake your tree
(Yeah baby)
Gal, look like you're tryin' to fall for me
'Cause you're apple of my eye

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
