Lyrics

Thank you Sleepy alligator in the noonday 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 memory and I, I'll check it quick oh yes I will I'll check he running some old kind of trick yo Oh no, well, I been there before And I'm not coming back aroud therะต no more No now Hung up waiting for a windy day Burn down the Fillmore, gas the Avalon Riding down the river in an old canoe A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe Out of the river, all ugly and green Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen Teeth big and pointed and his eyes were bugging out Contacted the union, put the beggars to rout Screaming and yelling, he was picking his chops He never runs, he just stumbles and hops Just out of prison on six dollar's bail Mumbling at bitches and a-wagging his tail (tail)
