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 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 bittersweet started to rub off on me You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat 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 So Lemon Boy and me we just gotta get along together I'll help him plant his seeds And we'll mow the lawn in bad weather 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 sugarcane? 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 'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town Yeah we're the bitterest guys around And I got myself a citrus friend
