  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----e

  Lemon Boy and me started to get along togethe-----er 

  I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn 

  In bad weathe-----er, 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

  But what if I run out of fertiliser? 

  What if the clouds run out of rain? 

  What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer? 

  What if beaches dry of sugar cane? 

  O-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

  Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around whereve------er 

  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
