Maybe there's a way to let the alligator play inside the bathtub
Maybe there's a way that we can play inside the bathtub too
Maybe there's a song that you and I can sing along about the bathtub
But if there is it's just a song about the day that we were alligators too
Once there was a time when all the animals would climb inside the bathtub
The monkey and the lion and the zebra and the alligator too
Once there was a game that all the animals would play inside the bathtub
But now the only game we play is you eat me or baby I'll eat you
Maybe that's the reason people finally had to build themselves a zoo
They call it New York City but it's just another alligator stew
Now you and I are alligators too
You and I are alligator stew
