I was drivin' through Georgia in late July On a day hot enough to make the devil sigh
I saw a homemade sign written in red Rhyme County Watermelon Festival ahead
Well, I wasn't in a hurry, so I slowed down Took a two-lane road to a one-horse town
There was a party goin' on when I got there I heard a welcome speech from a small-town man
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
When the band started playin', the watermelon queen Said, let me show you somethin' that you ain't never seen
She grabbed me by the arm, said, come on, let's go She dipped down, spun around, and do-si-do
She rocked back on her heels, dropped down to her knees Crawled across the floor, then she jumped back on her feet
She wiggled and she jiggled, 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 ought to stop by
I can guarantee that you're gonna have a ball Learnin' how to do the watermelon crawl
Well, 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
Have fun, you all
Do the watermelon crawl
