The Lyrics
pop a sliver of my tangerine
you would think it'd be just like a dream
it tastes funny...what a horrid thing
not ripe enough , i say
my green tangerine
i must let it ripen up in time
when orange, then it will be a snack of mine
but in this state, i cannot eat this thing
so on the tree it stays
my green tangerine
drop my eyes and sadly walk away
it looks like i will have no fruit today
for now is not the time for this cuisine
come back another day
my green tangerine
you would think it'd be just like a dream
it tastes funny...what a horrid thing
not ripe enough , i say
my green tangerine
i must let it ripen up in time
when orange, then it will be a snack of mine
but in this state, i cannot eat this thing
so on the tree it stays
my green tangerine
drop my eyes and sadly walk away
it looks like i will have no fruit today
for now is not the time for this cuisine
come back another day
my green tangerine

The power of sour! 5's
thank you, johnny
Nice job on this one-hit-wonder. What is a "lemon piper" anyway?
I had forgotten this tune, good job!
Good one Alvin! I wonder why nobody ever thought of this one before?
thank you, john, rod and merry....not sure what a lemon piper is...i suppose one could make a pipe out of a lemon...i've heard it done with oranges
I found this using the random button. Simple yet effective - as per Merry's suggestion, it seemed so obvious :)
thanks peregrin....its nice of you to check out my older stuff
