[Verse 1]
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a whale
With a polka dot tail?"
Down by the bay

[Verse 2]
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a bear
Combing his hair?"
Down by the bay

[Verse 3]
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say, hey
"Did you ever see a goose
Kissing a moose?"
Down by the bay
[Spoken]
Ah, yes!
Lots of crazy things by thе bay!

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]
Down by the bay
Where thе watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say
"Did you ever see a fly
Wearing a tie?"
Down by the bay

[Verse 5]
Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say, hey
"Did you ever see a frog
Dancing with a dog?"
Down by the bay
[Outro]
What you say?
(Down by the bay)
(Yeah!)
