Watermelon Crawl Lyrics

von Tracy Byrd

I was driving through Georgia in late July,
On a day hot enough to make the Devil sigh.
I saw a homemade sign written in red:
"Rind County Watermelon Festival Ahead."

Well, I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down.
Took a two lane road to a one horse town.
There was a party going on when I got there.
I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor.

He said: "We got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine,
"Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine.
"Help yourself to some but obey the law,
"If you drink, don't drive; do the watermelon crawl."

When the band started playing, the watermelon queen,
Said: "Let me show you something that you ain't never seen."
She grabbed me by the arm, said: "Come on, let's go!"
She dipped down, spun around and doe-see-doed.

She rocked back on her heels, dropped down to her knees,
Crawled across the floor, then she jumped back on her feet.
She wiggled and she giggled, beat all you ever saw.
Said: "This is how you do the watermelon crawl."

She said: "We got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine,
"Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine.
"Help yourself to some but obey the law,
"If you drink, don't drive; do the watermelon crawl."

Well, if you're ever down in Georgia 'round about July,
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by.
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball,
Learning how to do the watermelon crawl.

Well, we got a hundred gallons of sweet red wine,
Made from the biggest watermelons on the vine.
Help yourself to some but obey the law,
If you drink, don't drive; do the watermelon crawl.

Do the watermelon crawl.
Have fun, you all.
Do the watermelon crawl.
