Watermelon Man Songtext
von Johnnie Taylor

Ooh, listen I remember when I was nothing
But a lad of a boy sometime ago
I remember every summer in my home
We had one guy that outstood all the rest
He was the man that used to come around everyday
And this is what he would say:

"Oooh, watermelon man" with the boogaloo style
"Oooh, watermelon man"
And everybody in the neighbourhood would say this:
"You bring such good watermelons everyday
Please make sure you always come my way"
Everybody digs watermelon man


Well, as the years grew on and I got older
We used to help him sell watermelon only on
Friday because that was the only day
We could get out of school and every
Friday and Saturday
We would go out and help him say this:
"Oooh, watermelon man" He had me help him say this:
"Oooh, watermelon man"
Listen they make your lips go flippety-flop
The one we sell on the tracks sure is hot
That′s why everybody digs watermelon man

I wonder would the band help me say it one more time
Yeah, I need everybody in the audience
To help me say it one more time I'm gonna say it too

"Oooh, watermelon man" yeah
They′re just as sweet as they can be
They're so sweet I can almost eat the seeds
Everybody in town dig watermelon man, huh
Now let me tell you: "Oooh, watermelon man"
That's what I heard him say: "Oooh, yeah"
You are such good boy
And ripe and sweet watermelon.
