Now you got the fruit on your tree, lemons on your shelf
You know lovin' mama that you can't squeeze them all yourself
Now I say please let me be your lemon squeezer
Now while's I'm in your lonesome town
Now if you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord until my love come down
Now it make no difference baby, what your mama don't allow
Come on let me squeeze your lemons baby, I mean anyhow
Now I say please let me be your lemon squeezer
Now while's I'm in your lonesome town
Now if you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord until my love come down
I like your apple on your tree, I'm crazy about your peaches too
I'm crazy about your fruit baby, 'cause you know just how to do
Now please let me be your lemon squeezer (yes my Lord!)
Now while's I'm in your lonesome town
Now you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord until my love come down
Now and it ain't but the one thing baby, now that'll really make me cry (what, man?)
I asked you about your lemons baby, and you upped and tell me a lie
Now please let me be your lemon squeezer
Now while's I'm in your lonesome town
Now I want you let me be your lemon squeezer
Lord until my love come down
