Idle Race, The - Here We Go 'Round The Lemon Tree lyrics

There's a girl next door to me who's 'round the bend

But she wonders why she can't make any friends

From her garden she could see me, in her silver clad bikini

Singing, dancing 'round her fruit trees

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister can you hear me?

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister don't come near me

But I calm her down by throwing stones at her

If only I could make the right approach to her

Think I'd rather tame a tiger, turn those lemons into cider

Still I'd like to get beside her

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister can you hear me?

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister don't come near me

Three o'clock in the morning

I could hear her toneless singing

I could smell her lemon perfume in the air

I walked up to her window, in the hope that I might see her

But the deadly shade of night still lingered there

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister don't come near me

Morning came and into action went my plan

Ran to meet her dressed in bright green underpants

I crept in and sang discretely

Seemed to change her mind completely

Dance together singing sweetly

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister can you hear me?

Here we go 'round the lemon tree

Mister don't come near me
