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?"
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 bee with a sunburned knee, 
Down by the bay?"
It can happen anywhere, 
My mum is old and a little odd, 
She drives her truck all around... 
"Don't lie, kid, momma's in town."

Down by the bay?"
Down by the bay where the watermelons grow,

For if I do my mother will say
"Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail, 
Down by the bay?"
It can happen anywhere, 
My mum is old and a little odd, 
She drives her truck all around... 
"Don't lie, kid, momma's in town."

Back to my home I dare not go, 
For if I do my mother will say

Down by the bay?"
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 llamas eating pajamas, 
Did you ever see a cat running from a rat, 
Did you ever see snail chasing his tail, 
Did you ever see a horse dancing waltz, 
Down by the bay?"
It can happen anywhere,

She drives her truck all around...
