Alligator Stroll

Alligator Stroll - Josh Turner/Various Artists

Well I was born on a Friday in the Florida sun

By the Kiss Me 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 of country and some slow rock and roll

What you got going is the Alligator Stroll

Okay

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 cause I got alligator feet

Take a little bit of country and some slow rock and roll

And what you got going is the Alligator Stroll

I don't want to fight

I don't want to bite

I use my seventy-five 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'

Yeah

Oh oh oh bless my soul

What we got going is the Alligator Stroll

Left right

Left right

I got a letter from my cousins in the Great Dismal Swamp

They said they want to 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 eighty-two

If you like a little country and some slow rock and roll

You can follow right behind me with the Alligator Stroll

Put on your shades

Looks good

Follow me

We're going 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

Step South step North

Now we're strollin' straight ahead in an Alligator Roll

And every now and then we do a little dosie-do

Hey rock roll

Rock roll

All the way to Carolina with the Alligator

I'm in no hurry

Stroll

See you later
