CANTALOUPE
Words and Music by James Durst

ABOUT STAR-CROSSED LOVE, DISPLAYED IN THE PRODUCE SECTION: Here's one of those songs where I can't report accurately where it came from; all I remember is watching helplessly while it happened. 

Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe
Cantaloupe, so I guess we'll have to do it in the church

Mel wants to marry Honey but he hasn't got a ladder
Honey's livin' in the basement so it doesn't really matter
Movin' up in the world she can take the elevator
She's been talkin' matrimony since he first began to date her

Honeydew 
Honeydew
Honeydew
Honeydew
Honeydew, do ya, Honey, huh, wanna do it in the church?

INSTRUMENTAL

Honey's got a second job an' she's savin' all her money
Mel's an up an' coming comic but he isn't very funny
An' it's tough to make a livin' doin' shtik an' snappy patter
He'd-a sooner been a painter but he didn't have a ladder

Watermelon
Watermelon
Watermelon
Watermelon
Watermelon Honey doin' if they cantaloupe?
Watermelon Honey doin' if they cantaloupe?
