(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 tree

  Here we go round the lemon tree
  Mister, can`t you hear me
  Here we go round the lemon tree
  Mister, don`t come near me

 Could 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

  CHORUS

 Three o`clock in the morning
 I could her her toneless singing
 I could smell her lemon perfume in the air
 I walked up to the window
 In the hope that I might see her
 Could the deadly shade of night still bring her there
 
  CHORUS

 Morning came and into action went my plans
 Went to meet her dressed in bright green underpants
 I crept in and sang discreetly
 Seemed to change your mind discreetly
 Danced together singing sweetly

  CHORUS
 
  CHORUS
