I dig your locust cloak and your molasses cane and your thirteen hour day
(instrumental break - same chords as above)
(same chords as above) 
apple betty when will you be ready to go steady with me?
i dig your locust cloak and your molasses cane and your thirteen hour day
all the boys on the block you never punch their clocks you sail off to Taiwan or Taipei
i dig your locust cloak and your molasses cane and your thirteen hour day
   E-                  G  F-       C

well she be squeezin' screws and she be screwin' you...bet ya don't even know
when your brew explodes the beermasters know and they're not laughing period
all she has is all she needs and all she needs is a couple'a seeds
a tobacco attack in some part of the world...straight outta hormones but stacked with the C's yeah
(same chords as first chorus)
don't you worry, there's no hurry
pick up the bill, i got the slack
apple betty, come back!
(same chords as first instrumental break) x 3
boo doot doo...etc.
(back to the first chord sequence)
  B-                A  G  
a grin turns to a growl
