Verse:
EAb There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
AGbmB He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
EAb And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
AGbmB So I figured this time I might as well let him be
Chorus:
AEAbGbmB Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
AEAbGbmB I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
AEAbGbmBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BE So I got myself a citrus friend
Verse:
EAb But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
AGbmB You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
EAb I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
AGbmB And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
Chorus:
AEAbGbmB So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
AEAbGbmB I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
AEAbGbmBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BE So I got myself a citrus friend
Bridge:
EAb But what if I run out of fertilizer?
AAm What if the clouds run out of rain?
AE What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
AbAAm What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
E The whales start to beach themselves
AbA Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
AAm It happens all the time
GbmBE It happens all the time
Interlude: EAbAAmGbmB
Outro:
AEAbGbmB Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
AEAbGbmB Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
AEAbGbmB Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
AEAbGbmB Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
AEAbGbmBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BA Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
BA Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
BE and I've got myself a citrus friend
