Lyrics:

Mr. Alligator, was swimmin’ in the swamp
Mr. Alligator says hello! Chomp Chomp

Mr. Alligator, he’s a reptile
Look at all those teeth in his great big smile

Mr Alligator he can really grow in size
10-15 feet long, and 1000 pounds!

Mr. Alligator, He was almost extinct?
C’ya later Alligator
Thanks for not eating me!

Mr. Alligator, was swimmin’ in the swamp
Mr. Alligator says hello! Chomp Chomp

Mr. Alligator, he’s a reptile
Look at all those teeth in his great big smile

Mr Alligator he can really grow in size
10-15 feet long, and 1000 pounds!

Mr. Alligator, He was almost extinct?
C’ya later Alligator
Thanks for not eating me!
