YOU BIG GREEN SPHERE
YOU ARE PLAIN TO MANY
BUT TO ME YOU ARE DEAR
YOU GROW ON YOUR VINE
UNTIL YOU BIG AND STRONG
WE'LL PICK YOU THEN,
OH,IT WONT BE LONG
YOUR CUT IN HALF
YOUR PINK IS REVEALED
I CAN FEEL IT NOW WHEN
BEFORE IT WAS CONCEALED
YOUR SOFT TO TOUCH
AND SWEET TO TASTE
I'LL EAT YOU ALL
YOU WONT GO TO WASTE
WATERMELON I NEED YOU
