LEMON BOY

C E
There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
F Dm G
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
C E
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
F Dm G
So I figured this time I might as well let him be

F C E Dm G
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
F C E Dm G
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
F C E Dm G F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G C
So I got myself a citrus friend

C E
But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
F Dm G
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
C E
I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
F Dm G
And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie

F C E Dm G
So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
F C E Dm G
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
F C E Dm G F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G C
So I got myself a citrus friend

C E
But what if I run out of fertilizer?
F Fm
What if the clouds run out of rain?
F C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
E F Fm
What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
C
The whales start to beach themselves
E F
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
F Fm
It happens all the time
Dm G C
It happens all the time

C E F Fm Dm G

F C E Dm G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F C E Dm G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
F C E Dm G
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F C E Dm G
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
 F C E Dm G F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G F
Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
G F
Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
G C
And I've got myself a citrus friend
