lyrics

This song is not about a lemon biscuit!
This song is not about a lemon cookie!
It's not even about a yellow fish called Lemon Biscuit!
It's not even about a little fish called Fi-fi-fi!

This song is about a lemon,
or maybe it's about just lemon juice.
This song is just about a lemon,
or more specifically, it's about you.
You who are the juice.

If your life is a lemon,
then maybe, you're secretly the juice!
What kind of juice are you?
What kind of flavor do you leave behind?
What kind of juice are you?
If your life, it is a lemon.

Some people think that if life gives them lemons
that they will just make some lemonade.
But what if you actually are the lemon,
or more specifically, you are the juice it contains?

Would you still make lemonade?
Adding something sweet to yourself?
Would you still make lemonade?
Becoming something more sweet?

Or would you prefer
to simply remain bitter?
Or would you simply prefer
to make others pucker-pucker?

Because when life is a lemon,
you might be the lemon-juice in it.
Because if you're the lemon juice,
why, what sort of recipe would you be in?

Personally, I really like hummus.
And it sort of needs some lemon, lemon juice.
Personally, I really like hummus.
And I can be it's lemon juice.

I will be the lemon juice,
in the hummus of my life.
Because if my life was a lemon
I shall slice that life with a knife!

And extract that good lemon juice!
And deposit it in the recipe!
And I shall create some hummus from my life,
and it will bring my much glory!
And it will be so yummy!

Mr. Beany's Bitty Band

We're a one-person band fronted by a human who self-describes as a mad artist. We invented the "crapcapella" genre, and remain a proponent, though we now support the term "folk acapella" as well. We love improvised music as well as sheet music.
