Little Baby Lemon Bun

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
A baby bun in the oven
Risin' up to greet the sun

And if she be like the father
She be playin' fetal rock band
Wailin' on the umbilical guitar
Singin' a Smashing Pumpkins song

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
A baby bun in the oven
And soon she gonna meet her mum

And if she be like the mother
She got a bicycle to ride inside
She got a cute freckled face ya
And she already know how to smile

Whistling Solo

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
A baby bun in the oven
Risin' up to greet the sun

She's one part Gina and she's one part Josh
She's one part sober and she's one part sloshed
I know that ain't a nice thing to say about a little baby on the way
But take it as a joke, cause I'was just jokin' and I hope that's o.k.

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
Sour and sweet, perfectly complete
A little baby lemon bun

There's a baby bun in the oven
A lemon baby coming soon
Singing her heart out
On a 9-month tour of the womb

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
A baby bun in the oven
Winning a bike womb marathon

There's a baby bun in the oven
A little baby lemon bun
Half Gina half Josh, baby oh my gosh
One pretty little lemon bun
Pretty little lemon bun, uh ah
Pretty little lemon bun
