Album: The Turtles Present the Battle of the Bands
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
We were waitin'
We were watchin'
Yes, we knew it all along
You were wrong
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
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'
We were waitin'
We were watchin'
Yes, we knew it all along
You were wrong
Now, it’s gone
And we saw the little squirrels
And we watched their thrifty deeds
Who prepared for winter’s needs
And we planted
Planted lemon seeds!
If that there world comes back again
We’ll be there, so let’s be friends
We’ll be waitin'
We’ll be watchin'
Yes, we’ve been here all along
Oh so long, so so long
Ehhh, ehhh, ehhh
Lemons growin' on our tree
Lemonade for you and me
