CHORUS: Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade! (clap, clap)
I can turn lemons into lemonade,
You can turn lemons into lemonade,
We all can turn lemons into lemonade,
So let's turn lemons into lemonade!
(1) Sometimes life hands us a lemon,
we don't like at all what's come our way.
We may feel we've no control over what's going to be,
It may seem we don't even have a say.
It's best to sit right down and figure out
what can be changed and what cannot, and
accept and make the best of what we cannot change,
and work hard to change what we can!
CHORUS: Yes, we turn our lemons into lemonade,
We turn our lemons into lemonade,
We turn our lemons into lemonade,
We turn our lemons into lemonade.
(2) Though we don't have it in our power
to order the whole universe, I see
we can work to make our little corner of it
the best that it can be.
Sometimes I want to give up and say, "Poor me!
I guess this is how my life's going to be!"
Or I may blame others for the fix I'm in;
that's just a waste of my energy!
CHORUS: But I turn my lemons into lemonade,
I turn my lemons into lemonade,
I turn my lemons into lemonade,
I turn my lemons into lemonade.
(3) There are lots of lemons life hands us, and each one of us has to decide
if we'll take each lemon and sit there puckered up or just take it in stride!
So, if you move away from all your friends, your parents get divorced,
your dog runs away and you're feeling way off course,
tune in to your feelings and think it through;
make the bitter better make a dream come true!
TAKE THOSE SOUR LEMONS, AND YOU CAN MAKE SOME SWEET LEMONADE!
REPEAT FIRST CHORUS (ALL 8 LINES), THEN END WITH
Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade, (clap, clap)
Lemons into lemonade! (clap, clap)
