Em              Am
  Charades pop skill
        G  	
  Water hyacinth
D      Em
  Name by a poet
     Am         G D C
  Imitation of life
Em       Am       G
  Like a Koi in a frozen pond
   D              Em
  Like a goldfish in a bowl
  Am              G           D C
  I donʼt want to hear you cry

  That sugar cane, that tasted good

  Come on, come on
     Em              Am C D
  No one can see you try

  Em              Am
You want the greatest thing
    G                     D
The greatest thing since bread came sliced.
Em            Am
Youʼve got it al
              G   D C
Youʼve got it sized.
Em     Am               G
Like a Friday fashion show
         D               Em
Teenager freezing in the corner
Am              G              D C
Trying to look like you donʼt try.

       G                Em
This sugar cane, this lemonade
