Lyrics

Grapefruit

The morning is such a rough time
I peel a grapefruit
I taste the sunshine

Grapefruit, such a great fruit
help me start my day grapefruit

i’ve been told
grapefruits the fruit for those getting old
but the elderly must be wiser than me
look at all the days they’ve seen

grapefruit such a great fruit
help me see old age fruit

some say bitter
I say divine
the clergy man he eats grapefruit all the time
and he talks to the wholiest of holies.

So grapefruit such a great fruit
give me strength to pray to Jesus fruit

I try to eat one
every other day
but there so unsustainable
they come from so far away
at least two thousand miles they’ve seen

so grapefruit such a great fruit
make me wanna pack up and move away fruit

The morning is such a rough time
I peel a grapefruit
I taste the sunshine
