Lyrics / Copypasta
What should we watch on Peacock for our movie date night?
Hmm, a comedy or action or maybe sports.
Or maybe a WWE fight!
Well, what about a drama or a piece of history?
Or a limited series with mystery: when a mother goes missing her four adult children piece together everything they thought they knew about their parents, "Apples Never Fall."
We know what we're watching on Peacock for our movie date night.
"Apples Never Fall" will be our limited TV series delight.
If we binge all episodes now we won't finish too late.
There's always something to watch on Peacock for our movie night date!
