Cavetown – Lemon Boy Chords

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.
And 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 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 were more of the savory type,
And they weren’t too keen on compromising with a
Nice lemon pie.

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.
Ooo

Lemon Boy and I, we’re gonna live, forever.
(Like snufkin and Little my, we’ll get around, wherever.)

Lemon Boy and me started to get along, together.

‘Cause we’re the bitterest boys in town, yeah, we’re the bitterest guys around.
So I got myself a citrus friend.
