Generate meaning
1
The sun was hot and the dust rose up like smoke
2
So we hid beneath the elm tree and watched the watermelons float
3
There in a big 'ol tub of ice
4
And we'd split em open with a kitchen knife
5
And everybody had a sliece it was a watermelon dream
6
Chorus
7
Ain't nothin' sweeter than a watermelon dream
8
'Cept sittin on the front porch eatin' that peach ice cream
9
When life is really sweeter than it seems
10
That's what you've got to call a watermelon dream
11
With sticky hands and and faces we fought the yellow-jackets to a draw
12
Then we used the rind for second base and played a little hard ball
13
I don't know how much we ate
14
But we all got the belly-ache
15
And everybody stayed up wat too late
16
It was a watermelon dream
17
Chorus
18
Then a little after sundown we'd be runnin out of steam
19
So we'd light a roman candle and try to hold on tho the dream
20
Maybe slip out behind a car
21
Take a little tastes from a jar
22
Then just lay back and count the stars
23
That's called a watermelon dream
