Alligator (1971 Remix) [2018 Remaster] (2018 Remaster)

Alligator (2018 Remaster) - 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 cant call for me

Oh no I've been there before

And I aint 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 aint 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 b**ches and waggin his tail
