Weekly mad or weakly pad
... takes up half a page
Gay brown name notes on every line
As a ruse for the weekly wage
Blow your own air trumpet son
Some day you're gonna get it back
But until you bridge that culture gap you ain't never gonna end up black
You're never gonna end up black young boy until you shake your ass
Hear the big, big sound of the watermelon man
Ain't good enough to last
Play as you cabaret, heard him, stacks and stacks of Motown hits
Buy yourself a brass section or men with one out lip
Or even learn to play yourself
You know it makes money sense
And learn the songs like note for note
Be weird
Pretend
You're never gonna end up black young boy until you shake your ass
Hear the big, big sound of the watermelon man
Ain't good enough to last
Blow your own air trumpet son
Some day you're gonna get it back
But until you bridge that culture gap you ain't never gonna end up black
Now we're told guitars are out of date and they told us not too soon
Now he's Boolean Hawks and the Young Soul Boys in the middle of the trumpet boom
You're never gonna end up black young boy until you shake your ass
Hear the big, big sound of the watermelon man
Ain't good enough to last
