Lyrics

I don't want your pork chops
I don't want your turnip greens
I think that a pass of the corn beef
'Cause a piece of watermelon is what I need
And it's so strong
It's been so long
Since I've tasted that dear forbidden fruit
And my heart sighs
As I realize
That that watermelon time is getting due
And I'm a wa-wa-watermelon man
I can see you bright eyes
I can see your smile
I can tell by your supple song
That you could drive a sane man wild
With your straw hair
Flowing free there
And those big green eyes staring back at me
But it's just fine
When you put your hand in mine
And we lay in the shade of the big magnolia tree
And I'm a wa-wa-watermelon man
Why don't you come to the cabin
Bring your watermelon patch
We'll dance in the meadows
What more could I ask?
What more could I ask?
Let's go find a cold one
A back porch summer's dream
I can't think of any other
That can eat their watermelon the way that they please
And it's a new day
Watermelon's waste away
And the sun is starting to rise up over the hill
But it's alright
I haven't lost my appetite
And you know that I'm eating those wasted watermelons still
Yes I am
And I'm a wa-wa-watermelon man
Yes I'm a wa-wa-watermelon man
Lord, I'm a watermelon baby
Honey I'm a wa-wa-watermelon man
Hit it now
