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 bear
Combing his hair?
Down by the bay
Down by the bay, down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow, where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, back to my home
I dare not go, I dare not go
For if I do, for if I do
My mother will say, my mother will say
Did you ever see a bee with a sunburned knee?
Down by the bay
Down by the bay, down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow, where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, back to my home
I dare not go, I dare not go
For if I do, for if I do
My mother will say, my mother will say
Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?
Down by the bay
Down by the bay, down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow, where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, back to my home
I dare not go, I dare not go
For if I do, for if I do
My mother will say, my mother will say
Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?
Down by the bay
Down by the bay, down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow, where the watermelons grow
Back to my home, back to my home
I dare not go, I dare not go
For if I do, for if I do
My mother will say, my mother will say
Did you ever see a bear, combing his hair?
Did you ever see a bee with a sunburned knee?
Did you ever see a moose kissing a goose?
Did you ever see a whale with a polka dot tail?
Down by the bay
