lyrics

Hey, watermelon man!
Hey, watermelon man!
Bring me one that rattles when you lug it
One that's sweet and juicy when you plug it
Do you understand, watermelon man?

Hey, watermelon man!
Hey, watermelon man!
Hot and bothered, need a little cooling
When I hear your call I start to drooling
Do you understand, watermelon man?

Watermelon cool your head
They’re so sweet, and so cool, and so red
And so green, and so nice
They’ll cool you down, just like ice

Just take a chance, a glance
You'll see why
If you’re hot a lot or you’re dry
Just take a slice, twice
Eat your fill
Cool it down, yes it will

Hey, watermelon man!
Hey, watermelon man!
Hot and bothered, need a little cooling
When I hear your call I start to drooling
Do you understand, watermelon man?
