alligator stroll

well i was born on a friday in the florida sun

by the kissimmee river and before i was one

my mama alligator said to me with a smile

let me show you how to walk in a particular style

you take a little bit a country and some slow rock-and-roll

and what you got goin' is the alligator stroll

i hold my head up high i keep my feet on the ground

i never hurry never worry as i'm strollin' around

i can keep a certain tempo that is lazy and sweet

and i don't need shoes 'cuz i've got alligator feet

you take a little bit a country and some slow rock-and-roll

and what you got goin' is the alligator stroll

i don't wanna fight

i don't wanna bite

i use my 75 teeth for a smile so bright

you can recognize me by my rose-colored shades

as i make my strollin' way through the everglades

i'm strollin'

still strollin'

oh oh

bless my soul

what we got goin' is the alligator stroll

right

i got a letter from my cousins in the great dismal swamp

they said they wanna teach me their alligator stomp

so i'm strollin' that direction in the way that i do

i hope to reach the carolinas by the time i'm 82

if you like a little country and some slow rock-and-roll

you can follow right behind me with the alligator stroll

we're goin' left

right

left

right

give a hollywood smile with those teeth so white

now stroll to the left

back

forth

now we're strollin' to the right

now we're strollin' straight ahead in an alligator row

and every now and then we do a little do-si-do

rock

roll

rock

roll

all the way to carolina with the alligator

stroll

see ya later
