[Verse 1]
I can be your clown, your imaginary friend
Sometimes I pretend I'm a doll without a sin
Oh-oh-oh, I can be whatever you want

Look at my shiny shoes I got for this night
Don't forget to save a seat, I'm selling out tonight
Oh-oh-oh, gentlemen, let's start the show

[Pre-Chorus]
And if I had a day in someone else's body
I would change my name, I would be somebody
Won't be scared at all, changing my own story
It only takes two words, dreaming in Hawaii

[Chorus]
I'm an alligator, I'll be your gladiator
I can be your personal marionette
And don't be such a hater, today I'll be home later
Don't forget to water my plants when I'm gone

[Post-Chorus]
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Today I'll be home later
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Like an alligator
[Verse 2]
I can be a character of your favourite play
You can laugh and smile at me but never have to pay
Oh-oh-oh, I can play your favourite role

[Pre-Chorus]
And if I had a day in someone else's body
I would change my name, I would be somebody
Won't be scared at all, changing my own story
It only takes two words, dreaming in Hawaii

[Chorus]
I'm an alligator, I'll be your gladiator
I can be your personal marionette
And don't be such a hater, today I'll be home later
Don't forget to water my plants when I'm gone

[Post-Chorus]
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Today I'll be home later
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Like an alligator

[Bridge]
Like an alligator
Don't be such a hater
And water my plants when I'm gone
[Outro]
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Today I'll be home later
When I'm gone, when I'm go-one
Like an alligator
