[Intro]
  

[Verse 1]
             
There once was

              
 a bittersweet

              
 man and they 

              
called him, "L


emon Boy"
             
He was growing

              
 in my garden 

              
and I pulled h

              
im out by his 

           
hair like a we

ed
             
And like weeds

              
 do he only ca

             
me and grew ba


ck again
             
So, I figured 

             
this time I mi

             
ght as well le

      
t him be


[Chorus]
             
Lemon Boy and 

             
me started to 

          
get along toge


ther
             
I helped him p

             
lant his seeds

              
 and we'd mow 

            
the lawn in ba

    
d weather
             
It's actually 

             
pretty easy be

            
ing nice to a 

            
bitter boy lik

But soon his b

              
ittersweet sta

             
rted to rub of


f on me
              
You'd think sm

             
elling like le

at my friends

e savoury type
             
And they weren

              
't too keen on

              
 compromising 

            
with a nice le

     
mon pie


[Chorus]

s and we'll mo

It's actually 

             
pretty easy be

            
ing nice to a 

            
bitter boy lik

But what if I

What if the cl

What if Lemon

What if the be
