MP3.com Description

A self titled song about a hellish demon who sells lemonade for only one-dollar-and-YOUR-SOUL-cents!

Lyrics

NEIL:
He’s got fresh juice for one dollar.
He’s got the pink kind if you’re into that.
You take one sip and one more sip,
Pretty soon you’re chugging down the whole vat.
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, you cannot resist the lemonade!

(Close your eyelids.)

Oh, it’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, little yellow spawn of Lucifer!
It’s the perfect blend of sweet and sour,
Something in the lemon gives you power.
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, would you like a sip?

(Are you thirsty?)

Lemon Demon caught you stealing
From the lemonade stand.
You can’t take one without paying
You might lose your hand.
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, he’s a little over citrical!

(How’s them lemons?)

Oh, it’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, everybody loves the lemonade!
And the devil sent him up from hell,
Now he’s got some lemonade to sell.
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, he’s a little spawn of Lucifer!
It’s Lemon Demon, it’s Lemon Demon, it’s Lemon Demon!
Did I mention that it’s Lemon Demon and the French’ll say “le Mon de Mon”?

(Life gives lemons… we love lemons… Death makes lemonade….)

AARON:
You will not find a single seed, there is no pulp to make you choke.
Drink from the Lemon Demon’s eyes, this isn’t any little joke.
He collects a thousand souls a week at the very very least,
It’s awful thirsty here in the belly of the beast, OW!!!

NEIL:
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, you cannot resist the lemonade!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, little yellow spawn of Lucifer!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
It’s Lemon Demon, oh, lemon out of hell!
You can’t ignore those piercing eyes, you must accept his lemon lies.

Trivia

• The line in Aaron’s rap, “This isn’t any little joke” may be a reference (concious or otherwise) to a similar line, “This ain’t no joke” in Aaron’s own The Artichoke Song, which Neil later contributed background vocals to the album version of.
• The sound of Aaron’s “OW!!!” is actually a mix of two different “OW!!!”s, the one he yelled out at the end of the verse, and one sampled from a live version of the Aaron Ackerson song, “Keep God out of Canada.”
• In a live performance by Aaron Ackerson in September of 2006, he added his verse from this song into The Artichoke Song.
• This song was released as a single on MP3.com, where the mixing is slightly different, but barely noticeable.
