Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For 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,
For 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,
For if I do, my mother will say...
"Did you ever see a fly, wearing a tie,
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For 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,
For if I do, my mother will say...
"Did you ever see llamas, eating their pyjamas,
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do, my mother will say...
"Did you ever have a time, when you couldn't make a rhyme,
Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay, where the watermelons grow,
Back to my home, I dare not go,
For if I do...
