Neath the Crust of the Old Apple Pie

Neath the Crust of the Old Apple Pie

'Neath the crust of the old apple pie,
There is something for you and for I,
It may be a pin that the cook has dropped in,
Or it may be a nice little fly,
Or it may be an old rusty nail,
Or some hair from a pussy cat's tail,
But whatever it be, it's for you and for me,
'Neath the crust of the old apple pie.
