Where the Watermelons Rot
Down by the bay (down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
Your mother will say
"Never trust a man
Under the sand
Down by the bay"
When I go to sleep (when I go to sleep)
The book in my hand (the book in my hand)
I know in my dream (know in my dream)
I'll see her there (I'll see her there)
She isn't real
My parents lie
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all cry
Down by the bay (down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
Our mother will say (parents, why?)
"Don't run away
I'll keep you safe
Down by the bay"
My father's home (my father's home)
Got me some shoes (got me some shoes)
Out with the old (out with the old)
In with the new (in with the new)
He isn't real
My parents lie
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all die
Down by the bay (down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
My mother will say
"You don't wanna know
What's outside the window
Down by the bay"
But if you do
My mother will say
"You don't wanna know
What's outside the windows
Down by the bay"
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
Your mother will say
"Never trust a man
Under the sand
Down by the bay"
When I go to sleep (when I go to sleep)
The book in my hand (the book in my hand)
I know in my dream (know in my dream)
I'll see her there (I'll see her there)
She isn't real
My parents lie
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all cry
Down by the bay (down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
Our mother will say (parents, why?)
"Don't run away
I'll keep you safe
Down by the bay"
My father's home (my father's home)
Got me some shoes (got me some shoes)
Out with the old (out with the old)
In with the new (in with the new)
He isn't real
My parents lie
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all die
Down by the bay (down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot (where the watermelon rot)
If you go home (if you go home)
Just don't get caught (just don't get caught)
But if you do
My mother will say
"You don't wanna know
What's outside the window
Down by the bay"
But if you do
My mother will say
"You don't wanna know
What's outside the windows
Down by the bay"
