F# F#
There once was a bittersweet man
A# A#
and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
B B
He was growing in my garden
G#m G#m 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
B B
So I figured this time
G#m G#m C# C#
I might as well let him be


B B F# F# A# A#
Lemon Boy and me started to get along
D#m D#m C# C#
together
B B F# F#
I'll help him plant his seeds
A# A# D#m D#m C# C#
and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
B B F# F# A# A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
D#m D#m C# C# B B
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
B B
You'd think smelling like lemon zest
G#m G#m C# C#
would be pretty neat
F# F#
But I found out that my friends
A# A#
were more the savoury type
B B G#m G#m
And they weren't too keen on compromising
C# C#
with a nice lemon pie

B B F# F# A# A#
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along
D#m D#m C# C#
together
B B F# F#
I helped him plant his seeds
A# A# D#m D#m C# C#
and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
B B F# F# A# A#
It's actually pretty easy being nice
D#m D#m C# C# B B
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
B B Bm Bm
What if the clouds run out of rain
B B F# F#
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
A# A# B B
What if beaches dry of sugar cane
Bm Bm
Oh well
F# F#
The whales start to beach themselves
A# A# D#m D#m
Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
B B
It happens all the time,
Bm Bm F# F#
it happens all the time

Instrumental: F# F# A# A# D#m D#m B B Bm Bm

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