EG# There once was a bitter-sweet man and they called him Lemon Boy
AF#mB He was growing in my garden and I pulled him out by his hair, like a weed
EG# And like weeds do he only came and grew back again
AF#mB So I figured this time I might as well let him be
 [Chorus] 
AEG#F#m B Lemon Boy and me started to get along together
AEG#F#m B I'll help him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
AEG#F#mBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BE So I got myself a citrus friend
 [Verse] 
EG# But soon his bitter-sweet started to rub off on me
AF#mB You'd think smelling like lemon zest would be pretty neat
EG# I found out that my friends were more of the savory type
AF#mB And they weren't too keen with compromising with a nice lemon pie
 [Chorus] 
AEG#F#m B So Lemon Boy and me, we just got to get along together
AEG#F#m B I helped him plant his seeds and we'd mow the lawn in bad weather
AEG#F#mBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BE So I got myself a citrus friend
 [Bridge] 
EG# But what if I run out of fertilizer?
AAm What if the clouds run out of rain?
AE What if Lemon Boy won't grow no longer?
G#AAm What if beaches dry of sugar cane? Oh well,
E The whales start to beach themselves
G#A Tortoise shells tear away from their spines
AAm It happens all the time
F#mBE It happens all the time
 [Instrumental] 
E G# A Am F#m B
 [Outro] 
AEG#F#m B Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
AEG#F#m B Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
AEG#F#m B Lemon Boy and I, we're gonna live forever
AEG#F#m B Like Snufkin and Little My, we'll get around wherever
AEG#F#mBA It's actually pretty easy being nice to a bitter boy like him
BA Cause we're the bitterest boys in town
BA Yeah we're the bitterest guys around
BE and I've got myself a citrus friend
