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 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
