lyrics

I was walking along (walking along)
down the street (down the street)
when I looked in the gutter (looked in the gutter)
at my feet (at my feet)
I saw an alligator (saw an alligator)
looking at me (looking at me)
And I could tell by his expression (I could tell by his expression)
that I looked pretty tasty (that I looked pretty tasty)

And I said
Shoo Alligator I see you there
with your big white chompers and your silly stare
Alligator, leave me alone.
Shoo Alligator, go on home
(Shoo Alligator, go on home)

I was playing by the river (playing by the river)
on a hot sunny day (on a hot sunny day)
when I saw that alligator (saw that alligator)
swimming my way (swimming my way)
It was the first day of summer (first day of summer)
and my skin was pale & pastey (skin was pale & pastey)
But I could tell by his expression (I could tell by his expression)
that I looked pretty tasty (that I looked pretty tasty)

And I said
Shoo Alligator I see you there
with your big white chompers and your silly stare
Alligator, leave me alone.
Shoo Alligator, go on home
(Shoo Alligator, go on home)

Now all of you children (Now all of you children)
YOu’ve gotta listen to me (gotta listen to me)
Big green alligators (big green alligators)
think that kids are really yummy (kids are really yummy)
So if you see an alligator (if you see an alligator)
Coming your way (Coming your way)
You’ve got to keep your distance (got to keep your distance)
And here’s what to say (here’s what to say)

And I said
Shoo Alligator I see you there
with your big white chompers and your silly stare
Alligator, leave me alone.
Shoo Alligator, go on home
(Shoo Alligator, go on home)

Shoo Alligator
Shoo Alligator
Shoo Alligataaaa
Go on home!
