Lyrics

This time every night
He comes crawlin' out from the dark
When he slides out on the dance floor
It ain't no walk in the park
Arms and legs go flyin'
When he goes on the prowl
Now who dat in the kitchen
With that cold-blooded growl
He got that smile on his face
He likes to lay down low
And he loves those funky places
Where no one dare to go
 
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Full o' tender fingers and tasty toes
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Add cayenne pepper and plenty o' mojo.
 
Our boy's got an appetite
He's only just begun
When he's ready to party
Everybody starts to run
What he'll do for a good time
You might call it vicious
He looks like a green onion
But you just look delicious
 
He got that smile on his face
He likes to lay down low
And he loves those funky places
Where no one dare to go
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Full o' tender fingers and tasty toes
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Add cayenne pepper and plenty o' mojo
That tail he shakes is a whopper
He Scares me half to death
Loves to show his choppers
And his swamp dragon breath
If you see your reflection
In rows of shiny teeth
You're tonight's selection
In the belly of the beast
 
He's got that smile on his face
He likes to lay down low
And he loves those funky places
Where no one dare to go
 
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Full o' tender fingers and tasty toes
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Add cayenne pepper and plenty o' mojo
Alligator
Gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
Alligator gumbo
Cookin' down in the bayou
