This song is based on one of the oldest known English language riddles. It appears in many forms. I have added the middle verse to spell out the sense of puzzlement!

Riddle song
I will give my love an apple without any core,
I wll give my love a house without any door,
I will give my love a palace wherein she may be,
And she may unlock it without a key.
How can you have an apple without any core?
How can you have a house without any door?
And where is the palace wherein I may be,
And how may I unlock it without any key?
My head is the apple without any core,
My mind is the house without any door,
My heart is the palace wherein you may be,
And you may unlock it without any key.
