Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEFE GHIIH JKHKLHMH GNMMN| When grandma wished to keep her fruit | A |
| Her apples she would take | B |
| And put them on a bed of straw | C |

| But newer days have newer modes | D |
| And now that it may keep | E |
| They give an orange opiates | F |
| And sing it off to sleep | E |
| - | |
| And they're telling bedtime stories to bananas | G |
| And rocking little raspberries to rest | H |
| They will dope an apple silly | I |
| And it wakes in Piccadilly | I |
| From a beauty sleep that makes it look its best | H |
| - | |
| It seems a heartless kind of trick | J |
| To play on helpless pears | K |
| To lull them off to slumberland | H |
| And soothe their nervous cares | K |
| Only to wake them up again | L |
| Weeks after on a plate | H |
| On the day of execution | M |
| To announce their cruel fate | H |
| - | |
| But they're telling bedtime stories to bananas | G |
| And putting plums to by by on a ship | N |
| And they never have a notion | M |
| They have been across the ocean | M |
| So they even miss the pleasure of the trip | N |
