Watermelon Time



The country youngster’s heart right now
     Is very light and gay;
He whistles merry tunes the while
     He trips along the way.
The fish-pool has no charms for him
     Where grows the fragrant thyme;
His interests are all afield,
     It’s watermelon time.

Base ball is sort of tame just now,
     His wheel is in the shed;
When autos go a-whizzing by
     He never turns his head.
He’s in a trance all through the day,
     Tho’ sport is in its prime;
But watch his nimbleness at night,
     It’s watermelon time.
