Stealing Watermelons

Stealing Watermelons

me and Elvin were looking for something fun to do

we've been planing something since our trip to the zoo

we knew farmer Brown had this very large melon patch

thinking we might sneak over there and get us a batch

I knew we should have waited until it was a very dark night

instead we picked a time when the moon was very bright

we knew that this would make this a very chancy risk

so we started walkin really quick our pace was very brisk

we knew the reputation that Brownie kept a weary eye

he didn't cotton to strangers not even just walkin by

we heard he kept a shotgun right close to the door

and if his houndog perked her ears there'd be hell for sure

we were keeping really low crawling on the ground

being very careful not to make a single sound

we were very close a hundred feet from the house

be still I said to Elvin be as quiet as a mouse

we both had one now under each of our arm

trying to back up quietly away from the harm

moving ever quicker now as fast as we can

we didn't notice that dang blasted fryin pan

when we ran into it it made such a clatter

heard the door open and my teeth began to chatter

I saw a flash and heard a bang as I tried to duck

the pain in my behind let me know I was out of luck

it was only pine salt but it stung like you know what

I was running faster now with this pain in my butt

I dropped the watermelons now crying like a girl

knew Elvin was in trouble when I heard get'em Pearl

that was the name of old farmer Brown's dog

I knew I was in for it when I tripped on a log

then I heard Brownie whistle and call Pearl back

laughing he said that'll teach 'em and went back to his shack
