The Wild Wild Melon Songtext
von John Edmond

Oh the wild wild melon
Has so much to hide
But the animals have a special way
To tell when the melon′s ripe
What does the rhino say what is the rhino's way
Well the rhino says put it on your head pull the melon down
Pull the melon down onto your crown
If it is ripe it will give a little squeak
But if there is no sound leave it for another week
Oh the wild wild melon
Has so much to hide
But the animals have a special way
To tell when the melon′s ripe
What does the zebra say this is the zebra's way
Well the zebra says put it on your shoulder next to your ear
Give the shell a tap what do you hear
If the sound is sharp it isn't quite right
But if it is dull the melon is ripe
Oh the wild wild melon
Has so much to hide


But the animals have a special way
To tell when the melon′s ripe
What does the bat say this is the bat′s way
Well the bat says let the melon down facing east and west
Put a straw on the melon and do this test
Face the straw north and south and prepare for a feast
If the straw turns around and faces west and east
Oh the wild wild melon
Has so much to hide
But the animals have a special way
To tell when the melon's ripe
What does the hippo say this is the hippo′s way
Well the hippo says come to the river put the melon in
Now we'll see if it will sink or swim
If the water melon sinks to the bottom like a stone
It isn′t quite ripe so leave it well alone
Oh the wild wild melon
Has so much to hide
But the animals have a special way
To tell when the melon's ripe
