Verse1

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

  "Run! County Watermelon Festival ahead"

Verse2

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 goin on when I got there

I heard a welcome speech from a small town mayor

Chorus

He said we got 100 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

Verse3

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 let's go

she dipped down spun around and do-si-do'd

Verse4

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 down the Watermelon Crawl"

Chorus

Solo

Verse5

If you're ever down in Georgia round about 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

Chorus
