Yes. It's also seen in the elegant variation of "'little' green apples". There was even a song with the variant line in it: I don't remember its title; some sort of C&W stuff, I recall.

Strangely enough, it was "Little Green Apples".
The version I remember was Roger Miller's.

[nq:1]Yes, you're right. What I'd like to know is what happened to Teicher? Had he taken his piano home by then?[/nq]
I can't account for it...bio says they both retired to Sarasota in 1989, and the date on the album containing this song says 1992, so I can only assume it was compiled from earlier tracks...I tend to think of it as a Ray Conniff number anyway..

Yet it was O.C. Smith's version that was the hit. Miller's cover made it to 38 on the charts in 1968, but Smith's went to number 2. Either way I didn't like the song!

I knew what they would do next. And sure as *** made green apples, they did.
If sure-***-apple saying means " no doubt", does the second sentence mean "they did without having any doubts"? Or "they did for sure."?
