There once was a bitter-sweet 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
* 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 So I got myself a citrus friend
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
But what if I run out of fertilizer? What if the 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
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
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
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
and I've got myself a citrus friend
