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
