1. Oh, the alligator lives down in the swamp .. Down where it's dahmp - down in the swamp. The alligator lives down in the swamp .. Not in a condominium. 2. Oh, the alligator was here long before us .. He's probably been around since the Brontosaurus. Down in the Everglades with the faunas and floras .. He's lived for several milleniums, but .. Not in a condominium. 3. Oh, the alligator, the alligator .. He's scaly and green - without any fur. He doesn't warble or yodle or pur .. And his favorite flower's the delphinium, and .. He's lived for several milleniums, but .. Not in a condominium. 4. Oh, the alligator has lots of sharp teeth .. He can bite you beneath - with his sharp teeth. The alligator has lots of sharp teeth .. Count 'em - next time you're swimmium. And his favorite flower's the delphinium, and .. He's lived for several milleniums, but .. Not in a condominium. 5. Now, going to the dentist makes an alligator shriek. 'Cause it takes him a week - to floss cheek to cheek .. And if the phone rings - then he's up the creek! He just has to begin againium! Count 'em - next time you're swimmium. And his favorite flower's the delphinium, and .. He's lived for several milleniums, but .. Not in a condominium. 6. Now, to keep him from nibbling your knuckles and knees .. Take some pickled papayas all covered with peas .. And hang them high up in the Jujube Trees .. 'Cause the alligator loves to shinny 'em! He just has to begin againium! Count 'em - next time you're swimmium. And his favorite flower's the delphinium, and .. He's lived for several milleniums, but .. Not in a condominium.
