There once was a bitter sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy 
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed 
But like weeds do he only came and grew back again 
So I figured this time I might as well let him be 

Lemon Boy and me started to get along together 
I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather 
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him 
So I got myself a citrus friend 

But soon his bitter sweet 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 

So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together 
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather 
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him 
So I got myself a citrus friend 

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 
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 

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever 
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever 
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever 
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever 
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
