Lyrics

Would you like some lemonade?
No, this ain't no minutemaid
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 and catch the bus
'Till the day I couldn't pass
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
