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 snake baking a cake
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 frog walking his dog
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 mouse painting his house
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 cat wearing a hat
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 pig doing a jig
down by the bay?
