Bobby Troup – Lemon Twist lyrics

Here is a word to the wise
The top dietitians in town insist
The best source of vitamin C there can be
Is a lemon twist

Even a skeptic replies
That here's a suggestion you can't resist
A cool drink with ice is improved
With some slices of lemon twist

It isn't merely circumstantial evidence
That the lemon is a highly healthful citrus fruit
The most respected scientists agree with the physiologists
That here's one fact you can't dispute

Why don't you open your eyes
Your psychosomatic ills won't persist
If quick like a rabbit
You latch to the habit of lemon twist

Here is a word to the wise
The top dietitians in town insist
The best source of vitamin C there can be
Is a lemon twist

Even a skeptic replies
That here's a suggestion you can't resist, no
A cool drink with ice is improved
With some slices of lemon twist

Oh, it isn't merely circumstantial evidence
That the lemon is a highly healthful citrus fruit
The most respected scientists agree with the physiologists
That here's one fact you can't dispute

Why don't you open your eyes
Your psychosomatic ills won't persist, here we go
If quick like a rabbit
You latch to the habit of lemon twist
