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