[Verse 1]
Crawling across the floor at the Holiday Inn motel
I saw that girl that my swamp bone knew so well
She crawled out of Texas flipped off to Baton Rouge
She got that Gulf Coast sun tan that give a poor boy the blues

[Chorus]
Alley-gator, with those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley-gator, she'll make you afraid them
She'll chew you up it isn't no lie, yeah yeah yeah

[Verse 2]
Crawling through the weeds with a Louisiana mean-toothed grin
You can tell her that you love her, then you better tell her once again
She might scratch your back and rub you with her rack
You better watch out or stand back

[Chorus][x2]

[Outro]
Alley-gator, with those hypnotic big green eyes
Alley-gator, alley-gator, alley-gator, alley-gator[x2]
Crocodile, a crocodile, alley-gator, alley-gator, alley-gator
