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
