The new song, called by general consent "The Apple Song," is the composition of a New Zealander, Ivan Perrin. Mr. Perrin has been associated with J. C. Williamson Ltd, for the past fifteen years. He returned from Australia only three weeks ago. He has written many songs, among his compositions being "The Maori Lullaby" and "Ballet de Carnival." At*the moment Mr. Perrin is busily engaged in writing the music for the
new Australian film, "Forty Thousand Light Horse." In response to many requests, we give the words of "The Apple Song": Any time is apple time, Whether you're nine or ninety-nine, Here’s a healthy, golden rule; Take an apple each day to school, Mutch it, crunch it, Call for more. Crunch it, munch it, Eat it right down till you reach the core. Any time is apple time, Whether it’s wet or whether it’s fine, Don’t neglect this daily rule, Take some apples with you to school, Listen in to your ZB station for an important announcement regarding this song.
