The Lemonade Song

Well, you couldn't be good if you've never been bad

You couldn't keep cool if you've never gone mad

You couldn't be glum if you've never been glad

And lemons give you lemonade

If you don't do the work, you'll never get paid

If you don't have the crowd, there's no parade

It may be trite and I know it's clichéd

But lemons give you lemonade

The glass is half full of sweet champagne

Some say it's half empty – what do they know?

Why would you whine about the rain

When you could lose yourself inside a rainbow?

Without the climb you don't get the view

Without the crime you won't have a clue

There is no rhapsody without the blue

And lemons give you lemonade

The glass is half full of sweet champagne

Some say it's half empty – what do they know?

If you keep whining 'bout the rain

How you ever gonna see the rainbow?

Somebody's pain is somebody's pleasure

Somebody's trash is somebody's treasure

Somebody's ugly is somebody's lovely

And lemons give you lemonade
