Lyrics
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 dropped 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 rolled by
and me I'm doing fine
I work for the F.B.I.
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 chose south
A couple of friends crawled 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
