When life is really sweeter than it seems
And everybody stayed up wat too late, it was a watermelon dream
And everybody had a slice it was a watermelon dream

Then just lay back and count the stars, that's called a watermelon dream
With sticky hands and, and faces we fought the yellow jackets to a draw
I don't know how much we ate, but we all got the belly ache

Then we used the rind for second base and played a little hard ball
There in a big 'ol tub of ice
When life is really sweeter than it seems
Then a little after sundown we'd be runnin' out of steam
That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
'Cept sittin' on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream

And we'd split em open with a kitchen knife

So we'd light a roman candle and try to hold on tho the dream
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream
'Cept sittin' on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream
That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream
Maybe slip out behind a car, take a little tastes from a jar
