Lyrics

Lemonade Stand © 2004 Heidi Huettner

Verse 1:
When I was pretty young, a pretty long time back
I saw some kids selling juice out of a homemade shack
I asked, ?Momma can you help me sell some lemonade??
She said, ?I?ll tell you how and then I?ll sit and watch you from the shade?

Chorus:
My lemonade stand taught me all I?d need to know
About starting up a business, hard work to make it grow
It took blood, sweat, and tears; to make it grand
But I?m really grateful for that lemonade stand

Verse 2:
(And my momma said)
?You?ve got to run this like a business, this is not a joke
If you spend more than you make, then you?re gonna end up broke
You?ll have to pay for your supplies just like a real store would
You?ll have to make a profit, or at least you should?

Chorus

Verse 3:
I didn?t know it was so hard to be an entrepreneur
There were some hard times I didn?t know that I could endure
But when I think back to how it made me so proud
I?m truly grateful that I was allowed (to have a lemonade stand)

Bridge:
And my mamma?s business savvy must?ve rubbed off on me
Cause I?m still running my own business?yippee!

Chorus
