Alligator (Live In Los Angeles Version)

[Thank you]

Sleepy alligator in the noon-day sun
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done
Oh no, call for his whiskey and he can call for his tea
Call all he want to now but he can't call me oh no

Oh no well I been there before
And I'm not coming back aroud there no more
No now

Hung up waiting for the windy day
Hung up waiting for the windy day

Sleepy alligator coming all around the bend
Tryin' to talk about the times when we was mutual friends
I'll check my mem'ry and I
I'll check it quick oh yes I will
I'll check he running some old kind of trick yo

Oh no, oh no well I been there before
And I'm not coming back aroud therе no more
No now

Turn down the hippies lеave the heat alone

Ridin' down the river in an old canoe
A bunch of bugs in an old tennis shoe
Out of the river all ugly and green
Came the biggest ol' alligator that I 'ave ever seen

Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out
Contract the union but the beggars to route
Screamin' and yellin' he were picking his chops
He never run he just a-stumbles and hops
Just out of prison on six dollars bail
Mumblin' at bitches and a-waggin' his tail
