Never Smile at a Crocodile

Never Smile at a Crocodile - Mary Carpenter

Never smile at a crocodile

No you can't get friendly with a crocodile

Don't be taken in by his welcome grin

He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin

Never smile at a crocodile

Never tip your hat and stop to talk awhile

Never run walk away say good-night not good-day

Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

You may very well be well bred

Lots ot etiquette in your head

But there's always some special case time or place

To forget etiquette

For instance

Never smile at a crocodile

No you can't get friendly with a crocodile

Don't be taken in by his welcome grin

He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin

Never smile at a crocodile

Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile

Never run walk away say good-night not good-day

Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

Never smile at a crocodile

No you can't get friendly with a crocodile

Don't be taken in by his welcome grin

He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin

Never smile at a crocodile

Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile

Never run walk away say good-night not good-day

Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

Never ever smile at Mister Crocodile
