Lyrics

Huh!
Listen
I remember when I was nothing but a lad of a boy sometime ago
I remember every summer in my home
We had one guy
That outstood all the rest
He was the man that used to come around every day
And this is what he would say
Ooh, Watermelon Man
With the boogaloo style
Ooh, Watermelon Man
And everybody in the neighborhood would say this
Your brain's just getting watermelons every day
Please make sure you always come my way
Everybody digs Watermelon Man
Well, as the years grew on and I got older
We used to help him sell watermelons
Only on Fridays because that was the
Only day we could get out of school
And every Friday and Saturday
We would go out and help him say this
Ooh, Watermelon Man
He had me help him say this
Oh, oh, Watermelon Man
Listen
They make your lips go flippy-flop
The one we sell on the truck sure is hot
That's why everybody digs Watermelon Man
I wonder what the band helped me say one time
Yeah
I need everybody in the audience to help me say it one time
I'm gon' say it too
Ooh, Watermelon Man
Yeah
They're just as sweet as they can be
They're so sweet I could almost eat the seeds
Everybody in town digs Watermelon Man
Huh!
Now let me tell you
Ooh, Watermelon Man
That's what I heard 'em saying
Ooh, yeah
You got such good bread
And ripe
And sweet
Watermelon
You have 'em on Thursday
You have 'em on Friday
You have 'em on Saturday
Yeah
