SONG: LEMON TREE

THE -ING IN PROGRESSIVE VERB TENSES

This is my favourite song to practise and/or revise the structure and formation of a progressive verb at any level from A1 - B2. It is quite simple to understand for all levels and fun to, especially if you play the animation video. It is also a good song to mime the actions mentioned in the lyrics. 

LEMON TREE Lyrics - FOOLS GARDEN

                    I'm ............... here in a boring room

                  It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon

                  I'm .................... my time, I got nothing to do

                  I'm ................. around, I'm waiting for you

                  But nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

                  I'm .................... around in my car

                  I'm ....................... too fast, I'm ..................... too far

                  I'd like to change my point of view

                  I feel so lonely, I'm ................... for you

                  But nothing ever happens, and I wonder

                  (Chorus)

                  I wonder how, I wonder why

                  Yesterday you .............. me 'bout the blue blue sky

                  And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree

                  I'm ................. my head up and down

                  I'm ..............., ............., ................, ..............., ................ around

          And all that I can see is just another yellow

          lemon tree

                  sing! La, la da dee da, etc.

                  I'm .................... here, I miss the power

                  I'd like to go out ................... a shower

                  But there's a heavy cloud inside my head

                  I feel so tired, put myself into bed

                  Where nothing ever happens -- and I wonder

                  Isolation is not good for me

                  Isolation -- I don't want to sit on a lemon tree

                  I'm ..................... around in a desert of joy

                  Baby anyhow I'll get another toy

                  And everything will happen -- and you'll wonder
