Lemon Boy (Live at Hoxton Hall)

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 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 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 now I got myself a citrus friend
