Alligator Lyrics by See Creatures

Glittery Mammal

2017

Well Mr. Alligator he was a mighty mean man
He'd slap his own kids with the back of his hand

And one day when his truck it died
He lost his mind
Shot a hole in the engine
Broke down and cried

It was quite a commotion back in the neighborhood
The kids were picking up sticks they were picking up wood
Then sang a canary in the yard they heard
Mr. Alligator walked on the scene glowing with the word

Like Moses

Now
Mr. Crocodile he'll cry with a smile
He pays his taxes too and he don't frown
His wife is the law and he loves his television
He'd love his kids too but he sent them all to prison

Now
What can make of such a foolish song of words
I sing of reptiles but I'd rather sing like birds
But a man on my left and a woman on my right
Won't let me sleep in bed cause they fight all night

In my head

Well Mr. Alligator he was a mighty mean man
