Lemon Boy

There was a bittersweet boy, they call him: Lemon Boy
He bloomed in my garden, and like a weed to pull out I went
And just like a weed, he grew back
I thought it would be better to let him be
Lemon Boy and I get along well together
I helped him plant even when the weather isn't on our side
It's easy to be kind to how bitter you are right here
I found a citrus friend
His bittersweet shape started to infect me
Smelling like lemon peel, I thought it was cool
I found out today that my salty friends are
And they didn't want to hang out with a lemon foot anymore
Lemon Boy and I must get along well together
I helped him plant even when the weather isn't on our side
It's easy to be kind to how bitter you are right here
I found a citrus friend

What if there's no more fertilizer?
What if it never rains again?
And if Lemon Boy doesn't grow anymore?
What if the sea manages to dry up?
Oh, well
The whales can bathe, the turtles shed their spines
That usually happens
Yes, that usually happens

Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, wherever I go
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
Like Snufkin and Little My, wherever I go
It's easy to be kind to how bitter you are right here
There's nothing more bitter in town, we're the bitterest ones here
I found a citrus friend
