Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun,
C C F F Am Am
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done.
C C F F Am Am
Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea,
C C F F Am Am
Call all he want to, but he can't call me.

G G
Oh no! I've been there before,
A A
And I ain't gonna come around here no more.

C C Dm Dm F F C C C7 C7

F F C C
(Hung up, waitin' for windy day)
F F C C
(Hung up, waitin' for windy day)

F F C C
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend,
F F C C
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends,
F F C C
I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will.
F F C C
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick.
Dm Dm A A
Oh no! Well I've been there before,
G7 G7 A A
And I ain't gonna come around here any more.


A A E E

A A E E
Sailin' down the river in an old canoe,
A A E E
A A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe.
A A E E
Out of the river all ugly and green,
A A E E
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen!
A A E E
Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out,
A A E E
Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout.
A A E E
Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops,
A A E E
He never runs he just stumbles and hops.
A A E E
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail,
A A E E
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail.

E E D D Em Em E E
