C F Am
Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun
C F Am
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done
C F Am
Call for his whiskey he can call for his tea
C F Am
Call all he want to but he can't call me
G
Oh no I've been there before
A
And I ain't gonna come around here no more
C Dm F C C7
F C
Hung up waitin' for windy day
F C
Hung up waitin' for windy day
F C
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend
F C
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends
F C
I checked my memory and I checked it quick yes I will
F C
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick
Dm A
Oh no Well I've been there before
G7 A
And I ain't gonna come around here any more
A E
A E
Sailin' down the river in an old canoe
A E
A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe
A E
Out of the river all ugly and green
A E
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen
A E
Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out
A E
Contracted the union put the beggars to rout
A E
Screamin' and yellin' he was pickin' his chops
A E
He never runs he just stumbles and hops
A E
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail
A E
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail
E D Em E
