.I want someone to come home to
I need somewhere I can sleep
I need a place where I can rest my weary bones
And have a conversation not too deep

Everybody else busy doing better than me
And I can see why it is
They've got someone setting them free
Someone breaking the chains
Someone letting them be

I want someone who can save me
When I come home from the zoo
I need somebody who's a sweet communicator
I can give my alligator to

Everybody seem to know what they are talking about
And I can see why it is
They got someone breaking them out
Someone finding a key
Someone setting them free

Could you be that person for me?
Would you feel right setting me free?
Would you dare to find my key?

I want someone who can bail me
When I get up to my tricks
I need somebody used to dealing with a sinner
Whenever I get in I fix

Everybody else busy doing better than me
And I can see why it is
They've got someone setting them free
Someone breaking the chains
Someone letting them be

Could you be that person for me
Would you feel right setting me free
Could you dare to find my key?

sensitive, it's true
alligator tears cried over you

over you, over you
over you, over you

run around on me,
sooner die without,
run around on me,
die without

relentless, yes it's true
my motor mouth runs over you

over you, over you
over you, over you

run around on me,
sooner die without,
run around on me,
die without

over you, over you
over you, over you

run around on me,
sooner die without,
run around on me,
die without

no hissy fits,
mind my manners
won't make a scene over you

over you, over you
over you, over you

run around on me,
sooner die without,
run around on me,
die without

rattled yes, it's true
alligator tears spilled over you

run around on me,
sooner die without,
run around on me,
die without

over you, over you
over you, over you

Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun,
Lyin' by the river just like he usually done.
Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea,
Call all he want to, but he can't call for me.

Oh no! I've been there before,
And I ain't gonna come around here any more.
Creepy alligator coming all around the bend,
Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends,
I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will.
I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick.

Oh no! Well I've been there before,
And I ain't gonna come around here any more.

Sailin' down the river in an old canoe,
A bunch of and an old tennis shoe.
Out of the river all ugly and green,
Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen!

Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out,
Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout.
Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops,
He never runs he just stumbles and hops.
Just out of prison on ten dollars bail,
Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail.

It's a fear. It is near. The shriek becomes ever clear.
A bear's teeth: extra sharp that'll cut you in the heart.
Yet a dog's really quick, try and fight it with a stick.
There's no use, give it up, this is life and this is love.

You are my alligator.
You are my alligator.
