Lyrics

Watermelon Queen

Such a pretty face they said
As she twirled that baton round her head
She tapped and sang to the refrain
of some Dixie melody
Gold streamers in the air
Last years judges were not fair
But this year she would take the day
And everyone would see

Watermelon Queen
Sweetest flower this side of Eden
And every one will see her be
The Watermelon Queen

What a grand old home town fair
Folks where traveling in from everywhere
To make the scene and hale the Queen
Whoever she might be

As the winner was revealed
Her joy just could not be concealed
Streamers in hand, she took the stand
Pride of family

Watermelon Queen
Sweetest flower this side of Eden
And every one can see why she?s my
The Watermelon Queen

Take a bite and smile real pretty
Take one more, your doing fine
Nobody told her, what a pity
Never knew she was allergic to fruit from a vine

Watermelon Queen
Your eyes are green but your face is greener
And everyone can see
Why she?s my watermelon queen.
