"Conosco un Cocomero"

I know a Watermelon [3:34]

A traditional song, transcripted in music by Stefano Varnavà, is one of the most beloved song for children, for its melody and for the funny story of a watermelon that does want to become the most nice and extraordinary worldwide.

So it starts flying, swimming, speaking, eating… The song does not get to a conclusion, but easily children understand that it is much better to stay on their shoes instead of showing off at the risk of becoming ridiculous.

And, last but not least, a very amusing gesture can match the singing…
