Whete The Watermelons Rot

Down by the bay
(Down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot
(Where the watermelon rot)
If you go home
(If you go home)
Just don't get caught
(Just don't get caught)

But if you do
Your mother will say
Never trust a man under the sand
Down by the bay

When I go to sleep
(When I go to sleep)
The book in my hand
(The book in my hand)
I know in my dream
(Know in my dream)
I'll see her there
(I'll see her there)
She isn't real
My parents lie
I know the truth but I can never tell you
Or thеy will all cry

Down by the bay
(Down by the bay)
Wherе the watermelons rot
(Where the watermelon rot)
If you go home
(If you go home)
Just don't get caught
(Just don't get caught)

But if you do
Our mother will say
Don't run away I'll keep you safe
Down by the bay

My father's home
(My fathers home)
Got me some shoes
(Got me some shoes)
Out with the old
(Out with the old)
In with the new
He isn't real
My parents lie
(Lie)
I know the truth
But I could never tell you
Or they will all die

Down by the bay
(Down by the bay)
Where the watermelon rot
(Where the watermelon rot)
If you go home
(If you go home)
Just don't get caught
(Just don't get caught)

But if you do
My mother will say
You don't wanna know what's outside the window
Down by the bay

But if you do
My mother will say
You don't wanna know what's outside the window
Down by the bay
