  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 Part
  
  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.
