Down By the Bay



Chorus:
Down by the bay
Down by the bay (children echo)
Where the watermelons grow
Where the watermelons grow (children echo)
Back to my home
Back to my home (children echo)
I dare not go
I dare not go (children echo)
For if I do
For if I do (children echo)
My mother would say...
My mother would say...(children echo)
Did you ever see a bear in his underwear, down by the bay?

Chorus

Did you ever see a bird being a turd, down by the bay?

Chorus

Did you ever see a cat that was pretending to be a bat, down by the bay?

Chorus

Encourage children to make up some of them. Can end the song with: Did you ever have a time when you couldn’t make a rhyme, down by the bay?
