Watermelon Man
Dave Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I See that watermelon
Smiling through the fence
I wish that watermelon it was mine
Sometimes i think that old folks
Ain't got a lick of sense
When they leave that watermelon on the vine,

Well apples are sweet and peaches are good,

Rabbits, so very very fine
But give me oh give me oh,

How i wish you would,
Some of that watermelon smiling on the vine..

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dave's song "Watermelon Man" depict a longing for a juicy and delicious watermelon. The singer observes a watermelon, smiling and tempting, on the other side of the fence and expresses their desire to possess it. They find it perplexing that older individuals often disregard the ripe melon by leaving it to ripen on the vine. The song acknowledges the sweetness of apples and goodness of peaches, even recognizing the finesse of rabbits, but the irresistible allure of watermelon surpasses them all.

These lyrics metaphorically represent a desire for something simple yet satisfying in life. Watermelon symbolizes indulgence, pleasure, and the essence of summertime. It reflects a longing to enjoy the joys of life that may be overlooked or taken for granted, just like the elderly characters in the song who seemingly ignore the watermelon's appeal. The lyrics evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminding listeners to appreciate the small pleasures and seize moments of pure happiness.
