Lyrics
Would you like some lemonade?
No, this ain't no Minute Maid
Just today I picked them fresh
From the tree that I love best
Couldn't let them rot away
Like my father used to say
Oh, happy day
Lemonade
Long ago, I didn't know
Didn't care and couldn't grow
On my way in such a fuss
Passed the tree to catch the bus
Till the day I couldn't pass
The fallen lemons in my path
So with my mom I now agree
And use the lemons life gives me
Oh, happy day
Lemonade
Hard times come to me
