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 Part
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.
