i was drivin’ through georgia in late july
on a day hot enough to make the devil sigh
i saw a homemade sign writtin’ in red
rhine 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 goin’ 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 playin the watermelon queen
said let me show you somethin’ that you ain’t never seen
she grabbed me by the arm said come on let’s go
she dipped down spun around and docedoed
4
she rocked back on her heels dropped down to her knees
she craweled across the floor and jumped back to her feet
she wiggled and she giggled and be all you ever saw
she said this is how you do the watermelon crawl
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
if your ever down in georgia around about july
if you ain’t in a hurry then you oughta stop by
i can guarantee that you’re goin have a ball
learnin’ how to do the watermelon crawl
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
yeah do the watermelon crawl
have fun you all
do the watermelon crawl
