Album: Haunted
Spanish schoolteacher (?): I CALL THIS SONG "LEMON
MERINGUE".
HUH, THAT WAS A BAD JOKE, EH? AT LEAST, THIS WILL
BE A GOOD SONG.
Hold on you've gotta wait just a minute
See the cookie jar
I've got my hand caught in it
Just let me try and explain
You know I've been a good girl
But I hit a limit
I know there's not a lot of logic in it
But my life's been feeling to me
(Like lemon)
Sometimes it tastes so bitter
(Like lemon)
I've gotta make it sweeter...HEY...
Stop right there before I get bitter
(Bitter)
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter
(Sweeter)
A little more like Lemon Meringue
So the other day well I found me a lover
Had a little hustle under the covers
It was delicious to me
Can't you see me there
Daydreaming of our future?
OH MY GOD I painted such a pretty picture
But my prince he never got back to me
(Like lemon)
Sometimes it tastes so bitter
(Like lemon)
I've got to make it sweeter...HEY...
Stop right there before I get bitter
(Bitter)
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
There's got to be a way to make it sweeter
(Sweeter)
A little more like lemon meringue
(LIKE LEMON)
LIKE LEMON
STOP RIGHT THERE BEFORE I GET BITTER
(BITTER)
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY TO MAKE IT SWEETER
(SWEETER)
A LITTLE MORE LIKE LEMON MERINGUE
(BITTER)
(SWEETER)
(LIKE LEMON)
(SWEETER)
(BITTER)
(LIKE LEMON)
THERE'S GOT TO BE A WAY TO MAKE IT SWEETER
(SWEETER)
A LITTLE MORE LIKE LEMON MERINGUE
Father:
It is November 6th. We are in Madrid, Spain, and
it is a very, very important day
To celebrate it Anne will sing a song.
