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


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


F F A A
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
Bb Bb
You'd think smelling like lemon zest
Gm Gm C C
would be pretty neat
F F
But I found out that my friends
A A
were more the savoury type
Bb Bb Gm Gm
And they weren't too keen on compromising
C C
with a nice lemon pie

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

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

Instrumental: F F A A Dm Dm Bb Bb Bbm Bbm

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