Down by the Bay Lyrics - Traditional

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 goose kissing a moose?'
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 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 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 llama eating his pajamas?'
Down by the bay!
