Alligator |
| Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun, |
| Lyin' by the river just like he usually done. |
| Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea, |
| Call all he want to, but he can’t call for me. |
| Oh no! |
| I’ve been there before, |
| And I ain’t gonna come around here any more. |
| Creepy alligator coming all around the bend, |
| Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends, |
| I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will. |
| I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick. |
| Oh no! |
| Well I’ve been there before, |
| And I ain’t gonna come around here any more. |
| Riding down the river in an old canoe, |
| A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe. |
| Out of the river all ugly and green, |
| Came the biggest old alligator that I’ve ever seen! |
| Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out, |
| Contracted the union, for the papers to route. |
| Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops, |
| He never runs he just stumbles and hops. |
| Just out of prison on ten dollars bail, |
| Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail. |
