Watermelon Man Songtext
von Big Mama Thornton

Hey!
Watermelon Man
Hey you with the red truck-
Watermelon Man
Bring me a watermelon make it now
Make it mellow- yes you young fellow
Bring it up here to the 5th floor
Watermelon Man

Say Watermelon Man-
Did you hear what I said?
Can you bring me a watermelon up to the fifth flo′
Five dollars!?
Wait a minute!
What you doin' chargin′ a dollar a floor!?
Think I'm gonna pay five dollars for a watermelon- you crazy!
And move, and move your truck out the front of my house


What you say?
Say you got what?
Tell me you got a license?
That's alright-
I′ll call the Po-lice! he′ll make
What you say?
You gonna sell the Po-lice a watermelon?
You might not know what kinda Police I'm gonna call
Might not even like watermelon
And you keep on tellin′ me you got a license
I don't care what kind of license you got
You ain′t got no license to sell in my driveway
So move it!

Oh you ain't gonna move huh?
(Laughs) Just stay there
I′ll get all these hound dogs and we'll come downstairs
And flatten your tires
And we'll get some free
You better move you smart aleck!
I was gonna buy one of your watermelons for you talk too smart!
And that go for your truck too!

That watermelon man was gonna sell me a watermelon for five dollars, just cuz′ I live on the fifth floor
