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

[Chorus]
We were waitin'
We were watchin'
Yes, we knew it all along
You were wrong

[Verse 2]
Put it in a place where dead worlds 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 young, we're so good
Heaven knows we surely must endure"

[Chorus]
We were waitin'
We were watchin'
Yes, 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, planted lemon seeds

[Refrain]
If that there world comes back again
We'll be there, so let's be friends

[Chorus]
We'll be waitin'
We'll be watchin'
Yes, we've been here all along
Oh, so long
So, so long

[Bridge]
Eh, eh, eh
Mm

[Refrain]
Lemons growin' on our tree
Lemonade for you and me
