Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe

I work the fruitstand at the edge of town
And every night I see my woman when the sun goes down
She wants to marry me but her ma and pa say no
I'd like to make it with her but I just ain't got the dough, no

Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe

Eyes like green olives (olives!)
Cherry lips beyond compare (cherries!)
And everyone who sees us says we make a marvelous pear (pear!)
Orange you glad (orange!)
I'm tellin' you about my strife
Lettuce all ask ourselves (lettuce!)
Can you beet this kind of life? (beet!)

Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe

Someday, I pray, she'll work that fruitstand with me
We'll sell fresh watermelon in the warm September breeze
And when people ask of her why she wears no wedding ring
We'll just rear back our heads and loudly begin to sing

Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe
Don't you carrot all? (carrot!)

Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe

Honeydew, I'm at the end of my rope
Honeydew, because we cantaloupe

Now honey, stop messin' around with all those limeys (limes!)
Hey, I know your parents think I'm a lemon (lemon!)
But to me, you're the apple of my eye (apple!)
And you're a real peach (peach!)
A total tomato (tomato!)
Yeah, I know what your papaya says (papaya!)
But squash that idea (squash!)
You know what I mean?
Let's go out and have a zucchini (zucchini!)
You know I've got so much love for you I could spring a leek (leek!)
Let's go have a few capers (capers!) on our next date (dates!)
You know, all I want's a little love and peas (peas!)
Honeydew...
