Down By The Bay
Down By The Bay Lyrics
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a bear combing his hair?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goose kissing a moose?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a pig wearing a wig?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a cat wearing a hat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a dragon pulling a wagon?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a goat wearing a coat?"
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay,
Where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home,
I dare not go.
Because if I do,
My mother will say,
"Did you ever have a time-
when you couldn't find a rhyme?"
Down by the bay.

Did you ever see a snake eating some cake?
Did you ever see a mouse building a house?
Did you ever see a fox living in a box?

I sing this song to my son to get him to sleep. I made up the lyrics as I went along, playing the "A-B-C" Game. (Ex. Have you ever seen an ant with polka-dot pants..." He loves it.
By Polly from United Kingdom on 28 February 2012
Never heard this in all my years and I'm very old!. My surrogate grandaughter sang it last night and it was lovely. We added things like - Polly with her very old Dolly and Mummy sucking a dummy. I loved it and will teach it to my own grandchildren when my own kids have children. (Not that I'm nagging them to!)
