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

Sailin' down the river in an old canoe
A bunch of 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, put the beggars to rout
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
