|
It's water . . . melon weather, |
|
that summer kind of weather, |
|
when people get together an' sing! |
|
It's the time of year the stars |
|
seem to dance with laughter |
|
an' the moon's so big an' ripe |
|
it can hardly climb! |
|
So, why don't you meander |
|
to your best gal's veranda |
|
an' sorta, kinda, hand her the ring? |
|
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season, |
|
and all the world's in rhyme, |
|
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time! |
|
This is the time to sing |
|
this kind of purdy little ditty |
|
a walkin' along an' singin' a song |
|
an' clinging to someone purdy, |
|
the type of a tune to go with the moon |
|
that's sailin' along a way on high! |
|
After strollin' a while, for maybe a mile, |
|
remember to stop an' pop the question! |
|
if your timin' is right, your future is bright, |
|
as bright as a watermelon sky! |
|
An' then when you found a bench for two, |
|
you found your cue to linger |
|
the chance you sought, to show what you bought, |
|
you happily thought to bring her, |
|
to cinch the thing, you give her the ring, |
|
you purchased from the five an' dime! |
|
Take her in your arms an' whisper, |
|
that you are mine all mine, |
|
with that line to sell, I'm here to tell, |
|
that you'll do well in watermelon time! |
|
For it's the sweetheart kissin' season, |
|
and all the world's in rhyme, |
|
when it's watermelon sweet love tellin' time! |
