  • This song tells a rather strange story: Our hero is smitten by young lady in a silver bikini who dances around a lemon tree. Despite her "toneless singing," he wants desperately to meet her, so he puts on bright green underpants, waits by her window and creeps in to see her. His plan seems to work, as by the end of the song they are dancing together, singing sweetly.
