Alligator — текст песни (Grateful Dead)

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.
