Original lyrics
When Tu Bishvat was near I thought my parents I'd surprise And make a special fruit salad with 15 fruits inside To save a little of my pocket money I would try and then go to the green grocers to see what I could buy. Oh orange, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, lychee, tangerine, pomegranite nuts and almonds wash them till they're clean grapes and apples, pears and peaches, apricots and dates and don't forget the cherry when you put it on the plate. On erev Tu Bishvat I bought the fruit and cut it small And sprinkled on some sugar, to enhance it all I garnished it with chocolate flakes and just a dash of wine and put it in the fridge to chill till we sat down to dine. On orange, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, lychee, tangerine, pomegranite nuts and almonds wash them till they're clean grapes and apples, pears and peaches, apricots and dates and don't forget the cherry when you put it on the plate. Oh supper was delicious we had sausages and veal and then I brought the fruit salad to finish off the meal they looked at it and stared at it and shouted with a squeal we can't eat this, don't you see, you forgot to peel. The orange, grapefruit, kiwi, mango, lychee, tangerine, pomegranite nuts and almonds wash them till they're clean grapes and apples, pears and peaches, apricots and dates and don't forget the cherry when you put it on the plate.
