I once heard a song about a lemon tree
It was alright, it was alright
It told of the flower and the tree and the fruit
It was alright, it was all the truth

Now the lemon is surely sour
And the mango is surely sweet
And we couldn't tell one from the other
But they both make life complete

I talk about life throws you a lot of lemons
Life throws you a lot of lemons
You have to learn how to make lemonade
Or you won't make the grade

You talk about life throws you a lot of lemons
Life throws you a lot of lemons
You have to learn how to make lemonade
Or you'll be sour all your days
I said life, I, I, I

You're gonna live your life or you're gonna die
That's a fact, that's a fact
While livin' your life you can laugh or cry
That's a fact, that's a fact
The choice is up to you
But I know what I would do
Well, I'd rather be happy than sad
If I had the choice I'd be glad

You talk about life throws you a lot of lemons
Life throws you a lot of lemons
You have to learn how to make lemonade
Or you'll be sour all your days
I said life, I, I, I

You have to learn how to make lemonade
Or you'll be sour all your days
I said life, I said life

You have to learn how to make lemonade
Or you'll be sour all your days
I said life, I, I, I
