I Drew a Lemon |
| I drew a lemon |
| I thought we’d last forever |
| But you drew the curtains |
| And pulled yourself together |
| Me I was certain |
| We’d wed and save our pennies |
| You went for a burton |
| Said «sod the consequences» |
| A couple of friends called by |
| And asked me to go out |
| Well maybe on Friday night |
| I’ll iron a shirt |
| Choose a tie |
| And drink until that well is dry |
| But |
| I drew a lemon |
| Those girls just laughed and wafted by |
| I sat there waiting |
| Waiting for snow in mid-July |
| They threw a party |
| But all three guests were boring |
| I turned on the TV |
| To drown the sound of snoring |
| A couple of cops drop by |
| 'cos Mr Singh complained |
| The level of my Hi-Fi |
| Is driving him to drink, I think |
| I’ll turn it down 'til you turn up again |
| A couple of years roll by |
| And me I’m doing fine |
| I work for the FBI |
| They promised me a Christmas bonus |
| Just think |
| One day this will all be mine |
| But I drew a lemon |
| I punched that gift horse in the mouth |
| I won’t get to heaven |
| If heaven’s North then I’ll choose South |
| A couple of friends crawl by |
| And beg me to go out |
| Well maybe the time is right |
| To iron that shirt |
| Choose a tie |
| Watch you and your friends |
| Go sailing by |
