Hampton, South Carolina has the longest running festival in the state. They’ve been having the Watermelon Festival annually for 67 years!

ALL: People coming from Allendale County, Bamberg County
Barnwell County, Collenton County
Hampton County, South Carolina and the whole wide U.S.A.

Gonna gather in downtown Hampton on the square
Downtown Hampton hope you’ll be there
Just in time for our annual affair, the Watermelon Festival

The Watermelon Festival, They’re coming to the Watermelon Festival
They’re gonna have fun in the sun, ‘cause we provide everyone
With an ice-cold slice when the judging is done
The Watermelon Festival, They’re coming to the Watermelon Festival
They're gonna have fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun
Fun, fun, fun
FUN!


SEED SPITTING CHAMPION:   
Oh, Sweet Melon Miss,  How ‘bout a little kiss?
I think you and I have more in common than
Black seeds and juicy red fru-ooh-ooh-it
I think that you’re really cute
My Melon Miss
I spit the furthest, Doesn’t that mean anything?

DOO WOP GIRLS: He spit the furthest, He should be your king

SEED SPITTING CHAMPION:   
Oh, Sweet Melon Miss, It would be truly bliss
If when your lips met mine I tasted melon rind
Won’t you please grant me my wish
My Melon Miss
DOO WOP GIRLS: Hey, It’s time for the street dance. Come on everybody!

ALL: Oh, It’s time for fun when the day is done
Time for fun, Come on down everyone
Oh, They’ll be two bands playing at each end of the street
Two bands playing better move your feet

To the Watermelon Festival, Come dancing at the Watermelon Festival
You’ll have such fun in the sun, ‘Cause we provide everyone
With an ice-cold slice when the judging is done
The Watermelon Festival, For sixty-six years we’ve had the best of all

We’d like to thank Allendale County, Bamberg County
Barnwell County, Collenton County
Hampton County, South Carolina and the whole wide U.S.A.
