"Lemonade Stand"

there's something about a lemonade stand that stands for all that's good
in this makeshift world of man in his cardboard neighbourhoods
where young enterprising minds are trying
to earn some nickels and dimes in summer time
well ain't life grand?
it's just one big one big lemonade stand

there's something about a lemonade stand that stands the test of time
just like an old tree house abandoned where rungs are left behind
for one who longs to climb and find
a secret place to hide and hold back the tide
from boyhood to man
it's a bittersweet song the song of a lemonade stand

two serious boys squinting into the sun
i'll be on my way you've got your business to run
and i got mine
