[Verso 1]
A7M Bm7
You bit into watermelon
E7 A7M
Juices dripped down off your chin to your delight
A#º Bm7
Never dreamed that it could be so ripe
E7(9-) C#m7 F#7(5+)
And taste just like a little slice of heaven
[Verso 2]
Bm7
Then you picked up your napkin
E7 A7M
And you tapped it on your mouth from side to side
A#º Bm7 E7(9-)
Never dreamed that such an act could drive my senses wild
C#m7 F#7(5+)
I wished I was watermelon
[Refrão]
Bm7
Or any other kind of fruit
E7(9-)
You'd consume
C#m7 F#7(5+)
Dragon, grape or passion
Bm7
Oh yes, I'm feeling fine my dear
E7 A7M A#º
But thank you for asking
[Verso 3]
Bm7
We talked all through the morning
E7 A7M
And we kissed right from the early afternoon
A#º Bm7 E7(9-)
Till the sun set on a sea so blue, replaced by the moon
C#m7 F#7(5+)
And music for dancing
[Refrão]
And in the wee small hours
Bm7 E7(9-)
Me and you, stuck like glue
C#m7 F#7(5+)
Lost in our romancing
Bm7
Oh yes, I'm feeling fine my dear
E7 A7M
But thank you for asking
Bm7
Come the morning and we'll begin again
E7(9-)
I'll kiss your skin
C#m7 F#7(5+)
With an educated fashion
Bm7
Oh yes, I'm feeling fine my dear
E7 A7M
But thank you for asking
