Melancholy Melon
Composer(s): Lynsey de Paul; James Coburn
Performer(s): Lynsey de Paul



I am feeling like a melon 
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon 
I am feeling like a meloncholy melon in a heatwave 

Wish I wasn't so mellow 
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow 
Wish I wasn't so mellow turning yellow in a heatwave 

I need your soft breeze 
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees 
To cool me down 
I want your slow rain 
Falling in the valleys and the low plains 

Can't you see I'm not a cactus 
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus 
Can't you see the fact is I'm not a cactus in a heatwave 

aaah... 

Don't want more sunshine 
I can't take more heat 
I don't need more nothing to make me ripe and sweet 

I need your soft breeze 
Blowing 'cross the desert from the palm trees 
To cool me down 
I want your slow rain 
Falling in the valleys and the low plains 

Don't you know that I am ready 
Don't you know that I am edible and ready 
Don't you know that I am edible and ready and I'm hot 

I am feeling like a melon 
I am feeling like a melancholy melon 
I am feeling like a melancholy melon in a heatwave 

aaah...
