Watermelon Crawl Lyrics

I was driving through Georgia in late July
On a day hot enough to make the devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red
"Rind county watermelon festival ahead"

Well, I wasn't in a hurry so I slowed down
And took a two lane road to a one horse town
There was a party going 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"

Well when the band started playing, the Watermelon Queen said
"Let me show you something that you ain't never seen"
She grabbed me by the arm said "Come on let's go"
She dipped down spun around and doe-see-doed

She rocked back on her heels and dropped down to her knees
Crawled across the floor then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she giggled beat all you ever saw
Said "This is how you do the watermelon crawl"

She 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 you're ever down in Georgia round about July
If you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by
I can guarantee you're gonna have a ball
Learning 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"
Do the watermelon crawl yeah, have fun you all
And do the watermelon crawl
