Where the Watermelons Rot

Down by the bay (down by the bay)

 Your mother will say
 "Never trust a man
 Under the sand
 Down by the bay"
 When I go to sleep (when I go to sleep)
 The book in my hand (the book in my hand)
 I know in my dream (know in my dream)
 I'll see her there (I'll see her there)
 She isn't real
 My parents lie
 I know the truth
 But I could never tell you
 Or they will all cry

 Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
 If you go home (if you go home)

 "Don't run away
 I'll keep you safe
 Down by the bay"
 My father's home (my father's home)
 Got me some shoes (got me some shoes)
 Out with the old (out with the old)
 In with the new (in with the new)
