Sailin' down the river in an old canoe, A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe.

A E A E

Out of the river all ugly and green, 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.
