"An Apple a Day" is a hilarious, tongue-in-cheek Broadway comedy song performed by Martha Stewart in the outrageous musical, "Not Another High School Musical". This catchy number emphasizes the importance of taking charge of one’s life through humorously exaggerated anecdotes of lawsuits, staff confrontations, and the often chaotic world of a domestic diva. With a cheeky nod to personal empowerment, this upbeat piece promises laughter and a reflection on the wild side of being proactive.
(Intro Verse)
In my kitchen, pots and pans, they wanna run my plans,
But honey, I've got a spatula, and I’ll make my own demands!
I've built my empire, with a pinch of class,
You'll never taste success if you settle for less!
(Chorus 1)
An apple a day? Oh, honey, you’re insane,
Life’s more than just fruit, it’s a cutthroat game!
With a lawsuit here and a contract torn away,
I’m taking back my power, come what may!
(Verse 1)
Once I sued a big company, they thought they knew best,
But I turned their sweet offering into a legal fest,
My staff looked on in horror, but you know they learned,
When you’re in my kitchen, the tables will burn!
(Chorus 2)
An apple a day? Well, who needs the hype?
I’ll shout and scream, I’ll take my slice of ripe!
With grand demands, and a pointed finger play,
You better watch your back, I’m here to slay!
(Bridge)
So here’s a lesson, I’ll sing it loud and clear,
You wanna win the game? You’d better shed the fear!
It's not just about apples, it's about the fight,
I’m the queen of my castle, and I’ll shine so bright!
(Verse 2)
I ride on fancy jets, speak fluent couture,
While I serve those who doubt me, a slice of hell, for sure!
In meetings, I’m a shark, I’ve got teeth of steel,
When I bring the pressure, you’ll know how I feel!
(Instrumental Break)
(Verse 3)
Like a cider pressed from renegade fruit,
I’ll take the juiciest questions, and give ‘em a hoot!
With sarcasm dripping, and my gloves on tight,
This diva’s not backing down, I’ll keep up the fight!
(Chorus 3)
An apple a day? I’m way past that stage,
With chaos and laughter, I’ll step off the page!
You’ll see my grand antics, come watch the display,
Buckle up, darling, it’s time to parlay!
(Coda)
So remember this lesson, as you go on your way,
It takes more than fruit to keep the gloom at bay!
Be bold, be fierce, take charge of your day,
And laugh all the while, that’s my way to play!

Musical theatre Broadway comedy song called “An Apple a Day” (WON’T Keep the Doctor Away) - a fun attitude song in the style of Mary Poppins “Spoonful of Sugar", sung by Martha Stewart in a hilarious R-Rated comedy called NOT ANOTHER HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. The song is an allegory for being proactive and taking charge via examples in Martha’s life where she took charge by suing companies, breaking contracts, and berating her staff. The lyrics should be shocking and offensive and racist with lots of vulgar phrases and expletives. It is not about real apples. It has lots of internal rhymes and the following song structure: Intro verse, chorus 1, verse 1, chorus 2, bridge, verse 2, instrumental break, verse 3, chorus 3, coda.
