Now watermelons are a wonderful treat They're the very best food that I like to eat. I wonder why we save them for special days As for watermelons, I would gladly pay. I'd pay whatever the cost might be Just to savor the flavor of that delightful treat Just thinking of them gives me shivers to my toes There's nothing else that can even come close. Their sweet juicy flavor just melts in my mouth On a hot summer day, I just want to shout As I feel the juice trickle down my dry throat It's the very best feeling a food can evoke. Watermelons, watermelons I'll praise you forever You're the one dish I'll pass up, not ever, no never When I'm thirsty and feeling ready for a drink It's only of watermelons that I start to think. It might be an icy cold winter day outside But that doesn't stop me from wishing inside Of ripe, red, tender watermelon flesh Even though I know I must wait, I guess. Wait until summer comes round once more With its hot hazy days and humidity's high score To see watermelons piled up to the sky All ready and waiting for me to buy. Now I'll tell you a funny story that happened to me I was only twelve or so at the time, you see Visiting a lady friend my parents had made She had two children about my same age. She took us all down the freeway a ways Til we got to a farmhouse with garden and hay Beside was a river, fast-flowing and cold The day was so hot we all made a bold Run for the water to cool ourselves down We had great fun splashing around like clowns We jumped and screamed 'til so tired were we We fell on the grass to rest and to breathe. And then my eyes saw a rare surprise The farmer began piling watermelons high Watermelons, watermelons come one and all It was a great party, as I readily recall. We ate and ate as much as our tummies Could hold of those watermelons, so yummy We ate till our stomachs started to pop It seemed that of eating, we just couldn't stop. It was time to go home down the freeway so far So we all hopped in my friend's beautiful car But after just a few minutes of traveling along Every one of us children sang a brand new song. The song was quite funny, but no one was impressed All we could think of was giving our bladders a rest Bathroom, bathroom we all in chorus sang We sounded like the little rascals gang. But on the freeway, no exits were found No ramps to see if a bathroom's around What in this world could one conceive To find some relief for the children that grieved. Well, to make a very long story short We found a bathroom but learned not to resort To overeating watermelon when far from home Too much watermelon makes your bladder groan!
