[Intro]
         

[Verse 1]
             
There once was

              
 a bitter swee

              
t man and they

              
 called him Le


mon Boy.
             
He was growing

              
 in my garden 

              
and I pulled h

              
im out by his 

           
hair, like a w

eed.
             
And like weeds

              
 do he only ca

            
me and grew ba

ck again.
             
So I figured t

              
his time I mig

              
ht as well let

          
 him be.

[Chorus]
             
Lemon Boy and 

             
me started to 

             
get along, tog

   
ether.
             
I helped him p

             
lant his seeds

              
, and we mow t

             
he lawn, in ba

         
d weather.
             
It's actually 

             
pretty easy be

             
ing nice to a 

           
bitter boy lik

  
e him.
             
So I got mysel

              
f a citrus fri


end.

[Verse 2]
             
But soon his b

              
itter sweet st

             
arted to rub o

ff on me.
              
You'd think sm

             
elling like le

              
mon zest would

         
 be pretty nea

t.
             
I found out th

              
at my friends

he savory type

,
         
and they weren

't too keen on

 compromising 

with a
          
nice lemon pie

.

[Chorus]
             
So, Lemon Boy 

             
and me, we jus

             
t gotta get al
