Lyrics
Cardboard sign in crooked paint Folding table, slightly bent Pitcher full of sunshine yellow Ice cubes clinking, summer's spent Two small chefs in oversized hats Counting coins in a paper cup Open for business, nine o'clock Come on over, fill it up Twenty-five cents, a smile for free The whole street's lining up to see We're the lemonade stand legends Sweet and sour, never sorry Pour it cold and pour it proud Shout it to the crowd Lemonade stand legends Every glass a little story Stir it up and pass it round Best day in town Mister from the corner house Pays a dollar, keeps no change Says it's the best he's ever tasted Even though the sugar's strange Dog next door gets a paper cup Mailman gives a thumbs up high Bike bells ringing down the lane Sunshine hanging in the sky Twenty-five cents, a smile for free The whole street's lining up to see We're the lemonade stand legends Sweet and sour, never sorry Pour it cold and pour it proud Shout it to the crowd Lemonade stand legends Every glass a little story Stir it up and pass it round Best day in town Clap clap, stomp stomp Who's thirsty, who's next Clap clap, stomp stomp No refunds, no regrets Little hands and big ideas That's all a day will ever need Pour a little sunshine out And watch it grow from seed Sun goes low, the pitcher's dry Pockets heavy, hearts are too Splitting up the shiny quarters Planning what we'll do Tomorrow we'll make it pink Maybe add a mint leaf crown Legends never close for long Sunshine's never letting us down We're the lemonade stand legends Sweet and sour, never sorry Pour it cold and pour it proud Shout it to the crowd Lemonade stand legends Every glass a little story Stir it up and pass it round Best day in town Lemonade stand legends Open again tomorrow Best day in town
