Lemon Boy Songtext
von The Orion Experience

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 grew and came back again
So I figured this time, I might as well let him be, let him be

So 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 a citrus friend

But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
You′d think smelling like 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


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 a citrus friend

But what if I run out of fertilizer?
What if all the clouds run out of rain? (clouds run out of rain)
What if Lemon Boy grows 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
Yeah, 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 boys around
Now I got myself a citrus friend
