Lyrics

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
[Several changes in father's text.]
