Lemon Boy

[Verse 1]

There once was a bittersweet man and they called him Lemon Boy

He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed

And like weeds do he only came and grew back again

So, I figured this time I might as well let him be, let it be

[Chorus]

Lemon Boy and me started to get along together

I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

And now I got myself a citrus friend

[Verse 2]

But soon his bittеrsweet started to rub off on me

You'd think smelling likе lemon zest would be pretty sweet, pretty sweet

I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type

And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie

[Chorus]

So, Lemon Boy and I, we just gotta get along together

I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

And now I got myself a citrus friend

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

[Bridge]

But what if I run out of fertiliser?

What if the clouds run out of rain? (Clouds run out of rain)

What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?

What if beaches dry of sugar cane?

Oh well

The whales start to beach themselves

Tortoise shells tear away from their spines

It happens all the time, it happens all the time

[Pre-Chorus]

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever

Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever

[Chorus]

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever

Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever

It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him

[Outro]

'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town

Yeah, we're the bitterest bot around

And now I got myself a citrus friend

Ooh, ooh, ooh
