Ever since the watermelon

On the black pit town

Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"

Ever since the watermelon

On the black pit town 

                                C        G        
Somebody says, "What's a better thing to do?"

Well, it's not just me 

         C        G 
And it's not just you

This is all around the world
