History Lesson
Old McIlhenny's ruined now
No sugar cane is left to plow
A casualty of war
This lone island left to die
Can't bank again in New Orleans
Must make ends meet by other means
An idea from his friends
And then soon this chapter ends
It might sound cliche
You can turn lemons into lemonade
Adversity to Gold
If you're not so quick to fold
(quick to fold)
Only peppers seem to grow
On this war torn island soil
Experiment with sauce
Maybe now not all is lost
By now you've heard of Tobasco
In a few years the world will know
You cannot keep him down
This pepper sauce will turn his life around
It might sound cliche
But he turned lemons into lemonade
Adversity to gold
Cause he was not quick to fold
(quick to fold)
Like Edison, Lincoln or anyone great
Who didn't bow down to apparent fate
You too can set the record straight
When you're struck down it's not to late
It might sound cliche
But you'll turn lemons into lemonade
Adversity to gold
If you're not so quick to fold
Don't be so quick to fold
Don't be so quick to fold
(quick to fold)
