Alligator Purse |
| I called him for days, he didn’t answer the phone |
| I drove by his house, I knew he was home |
| A week’s worth of papers and mail in the box |
| I thought he was dead, I picked the lock |
| I found him in tears in the dark on his knees |
| With a hole in his chest where his heart used to be And he said… |
| Don’t call the doctor, don’t call the nurse |
| Call for the lady with the alligator purse |
| She knows the spell to lift this curse |
| Go find the lady with the alligator purse |
| In an old stone house off 21st |
| I found the lady with the alligator purse |
| She answered the door, said I know who you are |
| She lit a candle, consulted the stars |
| When I saw her closing that reptile’s hide |
| I asked her point-blank, is my friend going to die |
| And she said… |
| I’m not a doctor, I’m not a nurse |
| I’m just the lady with the alligator purse |
| Hope for the best, prepare for the worst |
| So said the lady with the alligator purse |
| She said, look at what happened to Cleopatra |
| When she didn’t take my advice |
| And Romeo, Juliet, they didn’t get it Too bad, those kids were so nice |
| By the time we got back to my pitiful pal |
| There was no sign of life till he saw the alligator |
| Purse on her arm, the gleam in her eyes |
| She opened the bag, there was nothing inside |
| She said, there’s no secret, it’s love that I use |
| I just carry this bag because it matches my shoes |
| And she said… |
| Don’t call the doctor, don’t call the nurse |
| Don’t call the lady with the alligator purse |
| Love is the magic of the universe |
| Take it from the lady with the alligator purse |
| Love is the magic of the universe |
| Take it from the lady with the alligator purse |
| The lady with the alligator purse |
