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,
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.
When the band started playin,
a watermelon queen said let me show you
something that you ain't never seen,
she grabbed me by the arm, said c'mon lets go,
she dipped down, spun around and do-si-do'd.
She rocked back on her heels, dropped down to her knees
crawled across the floor then she jumped back to her feet,
she wiggled and she jiggled - beat all you ever saw,
said "This is how you 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.
If you're ever down in Georgia round about late July,
if you ain't in a hurry then you oughta stop by.
I can guarantee you're gonna have a ball
learnin' 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.
This song reminds me of Kadie because she likes to do the dance that goes along with it...
