C F Am Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun C F Am Lyin' by the river just like he usually done C F Am Call for his whiskey he can call for his tea C F Am Call all he want to but he can't call me G Oh no I've been there before A And I ain't gonna come around here no more C Dm F C C7
F C Hung up waitin' for windy day F C Hung up waitin' for windy day F C Creepy alligator coming all around the bend F C Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends F C I checked my memory and I checked it quick yes I will F C I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick Dm A Oh no Well I've been there before G7 A And I ain't gonna come around here any more A E A E Sailin' down the river in an old canoe A E A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe A E Out of the river all ugly and green A E Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen A E Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out A E Contracted the union put the beggars to rout A E Screamin' and yellin' he was pickin' his chops A E He never runs he just stumbles and hops A E Just out of prison on ten dollars bail A E Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail E D Em E
