C C
[Verse 1]
C E7
There once was a bittersweet man and they called him, "Lemon Boy"
F Dm G
He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair like a weed
C E7
And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
F Dm G
So, I figured this time I might as well let him be
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
F C E7 Am
I'd help him plant his seeds and we mowed the lawn in bad weather
F C E7 Am F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G C
So, I got myself a citrus friend
[Verse 2]
C E7
But soon his bittersweet started to rub off on me
F Dm G
You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
C E7
I found out that my friends are more of the savoury type
F Dm G
And they weren't too keen on compromising with a nice lemon pie
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
So Lemon Boy and me, we just gotta get along together
F C E7 Am
I'll help him plant his seeds and we'll mow the lawn in bad weather
F C E7 Am F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
G C
So, I got myself a citrus friend
[Bridge]
C E7
But what if I run out of fertiliser
F Dm G
What if the clouds run out of rain
F C
What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer
E7 F
What if the beaches dry of sugarcane
Oh well
C
The whales start to beach themselves
E7 F
The tortoise shells tear away from their spines
Dm G C
It happens all the time, it happens all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
F C E7 Am
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F C E7 Am
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
[Chorus]
F C E7 Am
Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
F C E7 Am
Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
F C E7 Am F
It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
[Outro]
G F
'Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
G F
Yeah, we're the bitterest guys around
G C
And I got myself a citrus friend
