about
This is Flip Breskin's song about making pies with friends and friends with pies on Cherry Street where we live. Zeke is mentioned in the lyrics, but it's Flip's song.
lyrics
Terry brings boxes of Gravensteins
More darn apples than you've ever seen
What'll I do with too much food?
Bake some pies since I'm in the mood
Mountains of apples, not enough flour
Bea's got plenty, says she'll come for an hour
She's slicing apples and I'm making crust
We're messing up the kitchen, baking fit to bust.
Cherry Street and apple pie
I want to live here as the years go by
Making pie with friends and friends with pie
… on Cherry Street
Bea wants to make one for Sharon and Bill
With phony sugar he can eat his fill
Phone up Sharon, "Got some substitute?"
She brings a box, and herself to boot.
Half and hour later, here comes Bill
"You gals seen my wife?"
He settles in the corner with my tiger cat
They each make a friend for life
Here's Selina with a great big grin
Sees her mom and dances in
We teach her how to pinch a crust
All the baking tricks our moms showed us
Still too many apples so we call for Gretchen
Bring more pans, so we don't have to fetch'em
Baby Toby sleeps till his nap time ends
Kitchen's full of pie plates, apples and friends
Flour & sugar & cinnamon
Lemon peel is the last thing in
The very last apple is sliced and peeled
With little heart cut-outs, the crust is sealed
Four houses crank their ovens up high
Start in baking sixteen pies
Bea says, "Look! There's enough to eat
For every house on Cherry Street!"
So we knock on the doors with apple pies
Make brand new friends with a sweet surprise
Fumiko & Judy, Marta & her flock
And Orma with her puppies at the end of the block
We make a special little pie to take to Russ
He's old and deaf; he's an ornery cuss
Bill's not scared cause he "knew him back when"
He leads us through the gate and safely out again
Jeff & Carol, Rick & Gerry
Doug, & Yoshi, Charles & Sherry
She's got attitude to spare
A black leather jacket & a stealth wheelchair
For Carlie, Codie, Matt & Wyatt
Across the alley, it's an all-pie diet
Michael, Justin, Bret & Zeke
Didn't get to cook, but they sure did eat.
Darryll grows apples, corn & peas
Bought his bungalow from Louise
We drive to the nursing home with her treat
Cause her heart still lives on Cherry Street
