The alligator is my friend.He can be your friend too.If only you would understand,That he has feelings too!Chorus:Alligator! Alligator!Can be your friend.Can be your friend.Can be your friend, too.The alligator's happy and smiles.He never sings the blues.I'd rather have him as my friend,than wear him on my shoes.(chorus)The alligator swims the swamps.He never crawls on dirt.And if you want to see my friend,You can see him on my shirt.(chorus)The alligator ate my friend.He can eat your friend, too.If only you will understand,That he eats dinner too!(chorus)
