Down By the Bay

Raffi

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 fly 
Wearing a tie?" 
Down by the bay.
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. 
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 moose 
Kissing a goose?" 
Down by the bay.
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 whale 
With a polka dot tail?" 
Down by the bay. 
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. 
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 have a time 
When you couldn't make a rhyme?" 
Down by the bay
