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.

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.

Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
I dare not go.

My mother will say,
"Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay.

Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home,
