text: Down by the bay 
  Where the watermelon rot 
  If you go home 
  Just dont get caught 
  But if you do
  Your mother will say
  "Never trust a man under the sand
  Down by the bay"
  When I go to sleep 
  The book in my hand 
  I know in my dream 
  Ill see her there 
  She isnt real
  My parents lie
  I know the truth but I can never tell you
  Or thеy will all cry
  Down by the bay 
  Wherе the watermelons rot 
  If you go home 
  Just dont get caught 
  But if you do
  Our mother will say
  "Dont run away Ill keep you safe
  Down by the bay"
  My fathers home 
  Got me some shoes 
  Out with the old 
  In with the new
  He isnt real
  My parents lie 
  I know the truth
  But I could never tell you
  Or they will all die
  Down by the bay 
  Where the watermelon rot 
  If you go home 
  Just dont get caught 
  But if you do
  My mother will say
  "You dont wanna know whats outside the window
  Down by the bay
  But if you do
  My mother will say
  "You dont wanna know whats outside the window
  Down by the bay
