Down By The Bay Lyrics
1. Down by the bay.
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home
I dare not go.
For if I do
my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a cat wearing a hat?”
Down by the bay.
2. Down by the bay.
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home
I dare not go.
For if I do
My mother will say,
“Did you ever see a goat rowing a boat?”
Down by the bay.
3. Down by the bay.
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a frog walking a dog?”
Down by the bay.
4. Down by the bay.
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home
I dare not go.
For if I do
my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a bear combing his hair?”
Down by the bay.
5. Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a llama wearing pajamas?”
Down by the bay.
6. Down by the bay.
Where the watermelons grow.
Back to my home
I dare not go.
For if I do
my mother will say,
“Did you ever see a dragon pulling a wagon?”
Down by the bay.
Down by the bay.
