Ya’ start workin’ at the break of day
Ya’ gonna’ do what the boss man say
Ya’ wouldn’t have it any other way.

Watermelon mon
Workin’ in the sun
Stackin’ them watermelons

Breakin’ your back
And a muscle or two

Workin’ to the beat
Of the midday sun
Hey boss mon

Workin’ to the beat
Of the watermelon
