Lyrics
See Ya Later, Alligator
Deep in the heart of the dark bayou
Cold blooded killer hey what ya gonna do
You don't know that you've been had
Swamp people coming gonna hurt you bad
Chicken leg hanging on a cypress tree
Go ahead and take it and then ya gonna see
Hooked you good now what ya gonna do
Big headed gator, I'm coming for you
Twist that line
Show me that head
This raging Cajun's gonna
Shoot you dead
chorus
Thats no tree shaker
He's a real tree breaker
He'll crush you like a can
If you get too close
He'll swallow you whole
Keep a rifle in your hand
King of the swamp
You met your match
Hey what you gonna do
See ya later alligator
I'm a coming for you
Red eyes floating on a moonlit night
Hiding in the dark stayin' out of sight
Sneak up and grab ya with my old bare hands
Throw ya in the boat watch ya do that dance
Fearless hunters got a job to do
Kill Godzilla fore he kills you (choot em, choot em)
You can swim but you cannot hide
You'll be layin on the dock by supper time
chorus
bridge
Hey twelve foot monster
You bring a good price
I got some chicken
That smells pretty wicked
Gonna put you on ice
Show me that smile
You can hiss and you can blow
Workin all day
No time to waste
Gotta hundred tags to go
