Robert Hunter - Alligator lyrics

[Verse 1] Sleepy alligator in the noonday sun Sleeping by the river just like he usually done Call for his whisky He can call for his tea Call all he want to but he Can't call me [Chorus] Oh no I been there before And I'm not coming back around There no more [Verse 2] Creepy alligator coming all around the bend Talking bout the times when we was mutual friends I check my memory I check it quick yes I will I check it running Some old kind of trick [Chorus] Oh no well I Been there before And I ain't a coming back around There no more No I'm not [Bridge] Hung up waiting for a windy day Hung up waiting for a windy day Tear down the Fillmore Gas the Avalon [Verse 3] Riding down the river in an old canoe A bunch of bugs and an old tennis shoe Out of the river all ugly and green The biggest old alligator that I've ever seen Teeth big and pointed and his eyes were bugging out Contact the union, put the beggars to route Screaming and yelling and licking his chops He never runs he just stumbles and hops Just out of prison on six dollars bail Mumbling at b**hes and wagging his tail [Outro] Alligator running round my door [x4] Alligator creeping round the corner of my cabin door He's coming round to bother me some more
