Lemon Boy

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
 It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
 So I got myself a citrus friend
 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
 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 got myself a citrus friend
