Cavetown - Lemon Boy

There once was a bitter-sweet manAnd they called him Lemon BoyHe was growing in my gardenAnd I pulled him out by his hair, like a weedAnd like weeds do, he only came and grew back againSo I figured this time I might as well let him be

Lemon Boy and me started to get along togetherI helped him plant his seedsAnd we mowed the lawn in bad weatherIt's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like himSo I got myself a citrus friend

But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on meYou'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neatI found out that my friends were more of the savory typeAnd they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pieSo Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along togetherI'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weatherIt's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like himSo I got myself a citrus friend

But what if I run out of fertilizer?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,

They'll start to beach themselvesTortoise shells tear away from their spinesIt happens all the timeIt happens all the time

So Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live foreverLike Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around whereverLemon Boy and I, we're gonna live foreverLike Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around whereverIt's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like himCause we're the bitterest boys aroundYeah we're the bitterest guys in townand I've got myself a citrus friend
