[Verse 1]
Did ya hear what happened to the world today?
Somebody came an' they took it away
Wrapped it up in a wire net
Took it away an' it ain't back yet

[Chorus]
We were waiting
We were watching
Guess, we knew it all along
You were wrong

[Verse 2]
Put it in a place where dead words lie
Underneath a tombstone, ten miles high
(We're so safe, so secure
Heaven knows we're absolutely sure)

[Verse 3]
Never grew up but now it's dead
What'd'you suppose the epitaph read?
(We're so safe, so secure
Heaven knows we surely must endure)

[Chorus]
We were waiting
We were watching
Guess, we knew it all along
You were wrong
Now, it's gone
[Bridge]
And we saw the little squirrels
And we watched their thrifty deeds
Who prepared for winter's needs
And we planted seeds (Planted lemon seeds)

[Verse 4]
If that there world comes back again
We'll be there, so let's be friends
Lemons growin' on our tree
Lemonade for you and me

[Outro]
Hey, ooh
