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.
