Pay The Alligator |
Sheriff pulled me over and he started his jive |
In a 20 mile zone I was doin 25 |
Son keep your lead foot off the accelerator |
If you don’t slow down you’ll have to Pay the Alligator |
I was countin my money in the back of my store |
IRS came a knockin at my door |
He found me hidin down behind my own refrigerator |
If you don’t pay me you gotta Pay the Alligator (whining — Not again!) |
Pay the Alligator (Pay the Alligator) |
Pay the Alligator (Pay the Alligator) |
Might be sooner Might be later |
One thing for sure you gotta Pay the Alligator |
The afterlife come and it scared me half to death |
I heard Saint Peter mutter underneath his breath |
Take this bucket well talk about it later |
You can paint the pearly gate or Pay the Alligator |
Devil caught me lookin at the thermostat |
I told him Id never touch nothin like that |
He said shut the hell up and do what I say |
Or you gonna have the alligator to pay |
Order in the Court! |
Suspect on the Stand! |
He said he saw the witness with a whistle in his hand |
The Judge said I hate to implicate the perpetrator |
But if you jack with the Judge, you gotta pay the Alligator |
Walk on razors and sleep on on nails |
Talk like ducks and walk like quails |
Go blindfolded backwards through the Disconbobulater |
If you don’t do it right you gotta Pay the Alligator |
