Lyrics

Here’s watermelon man
Or in the vernacular, WATERMELON MAN!
Hey!
Hey, wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Hey, wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Bring me one that rattles when you lug it
One that's red and juicy when you plug it
Do you understand, wa-ter-melon man?
Yeah!
Hey, Wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Hey, Wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Hot and bothered, need a little cooling
When I hear your call I start to drooling
Do you understand, wa-ter-melon man?
Ah get down now! Tell it like it T-I-Is. Y’know what I mean
Watermelon cool your head!
So sweet, so cool and so red
So green and so nice
Cool you down, just like ice
Take a taste, and see why
If you hot, or dry, just take a slice. Eat your fill
Cool you down! Yes it will
Yes it will! Honeydew do too
But not like watermelon do, y’know what I mean
Hey, Wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Hey, Wa-ter-melon man. Watermelon man!
Hot and bothered, need a little cooling
When I hear your call, I start to drooling
Do you understand, wa-ter-melon man?
Aw, down to the rind! (Watermelon man)
Take out all the seeds! (Watermelon man)
Save the rind for cucumbers. (Watermelon man)
Make some pickles. (Watermelon man)
Waaaaa-ter melllll-on man!
