Cute as they were, I threw these beauties away, right away!
Be careful, mother told me, Be careful Sunny
                          Beware.
Be careful when you wear your watermelon
                      Underwear.

I told my mother okay, I told her most sincere,
I told her I'd be careful with my watermelon
                      Underwear.

I forgot about those deep words, I forgot about
                      Their cut,
I forgot those cutting words till one day they bit
                      My b-u-t-t.

I went to soccer practice, I was a stylin' player,
                As you know the sort,
A regular geek in a T-shirt and yellow spandex
                        Shorts.

We did our excercises, we stretched and pulled
                    And moaned,
Then we took off running, my how those shorts
                        Shone!

A tiny friend pulled me to the side, most
            Graciously and kind,
"I hate to tell you, but people are laughing at
        your 'blank' from behind."

I thanked her most gratefully, I thanked her most
                          Sincere,
For reminding me of my crazy underwear.

I calmly pulled my shirt out, acted like I had a
                          Tear,
          My face was just as red,
      As my watermelon underwear.

Be careful, mother told me, Be careful Sunny
                      Beware,
Be careful when you wear your watermelon
                  Underwear.
