Home I don’t want your pork chops I don’t want your turnip greens I think that I’ll pass up the cornbread ’Cause a piece of watermelon is what I need. And it’s so strong ’cause it’s been so long Since I’ve tasted that dear forbidden fruit. And my heart sighs as I realize That that watermelon time is a-gettin’ due And I’m a watermelon man I can see you, bright eyes I can see your smile What more could I ask What more could I ask Let’s go find the covers Back porch summer’s dream I can’t think of many others That can eat their watermelon the way that they please And it’s a new day, Watermelons waste away, And the sun is startin’ to rise up over the hill But it’s all right I haven’t lost my appetite And you know that I’m eatin’ those wasted watermelons still Yes, I am And I’m a watermelon man Yes, I’m a watermelon man.
