VERSE 1 Long ago in a faraway time Or maybe it was just a dream of mine There lived a people small and kind In a land called Lemonade They were much like our fairy-folk With wings of silk and eyes of smoke They had hearts of gold and magic souls And how they loved their home BRIDGE And the lemon trees bloomed all around all around And the lemon trees bloomed all around And the sugar cane grew all around all around And the sugar cane grew all around And the water flowed all around all around And the water flowed all around And the people danced all around all around And the people danced all around (singin’) VERSE 2 The people lived inside the trees Right alongside those honeybees And they shared the air with the birds and the fleas And the bats and the butterflies They made a life with their very own hands Ploughed the earth and tilled the land And the sunshine smiled and the breeze blew fine In the land called Lemonade BRIDGE CHORUS The trees make the lemons The earth grows the sugar cane The sky pours down the water And the people make the Lemonade lemonade Don't you want some lemonade Lemonade lemonade Don't you want some lemonade You know you want some you know I got some Lemo lemo lemo lemonade You know we got some you know you want some Don't you want some lemonade VERSE 3 One day an angry dragon came To smite the people with his flame To burn their trees and scorch their earth And dry up all the streams and lakes They thought wow this guy is really mean The nastiest evil we’ve ever seen Let us offer him a drink From our crystal chalice full of lemonade VERSE 4 So they mixed him up a special brew Pit a little mint in for something new And offered it to that dragon In the spirit of love and generosity And he smiled the way only dragons can And he turned his life right around right then And he never used fire for evil again In the land called Lemonade BRIDGE DOUBLE CHORUS The trees make the lemons The earth grows the sugar cane The sky pours down the water And the people make the Lemonade lemonade Don't you want some lemonade Lemonade lemonade Don't you want some lemonade You know you want some you know I got some Lemo lemo lemo lemonade You know we got some you know you want some Don't you want some lemonade lemon trees sugar cane Water from the fairy lake Don't you want some lemonade Squeeze it up dump it in Stir it with your fairy stick Don't you want some lemonade You know you want some you know we got some Lemo lemo lemo lemonade You know we got some we know you want some Don't you want some lemonade TAG And that is how the fighting ends When enemies turn into friends And we all lay down our angry fire And share our lemonade “The miracle is this: the more we share, the more we have.” ~ Leonard Nimoy “Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend.” ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.
