Dangerous Critter

歌詞

Late one night as I sat on my porch A great big numb came in my throat There was a great big splash I asked myself "What in the world was that?" I turned on the light, boy what a fright To see the water churn that late at night He was a dangerous critter He was a dangerous critter He was a dangerous critter Alligator on the bayou That later ten foot alligator waitin' for the kill And when he saw me he lay very very still His head was about - ah - three feet long He could have taken off any big man's arm He looked at me and I looked at him Meanwhile he was giving me that hunger grin His teeth were sharp and his eyes were red Any closer I'd be dead dead dead He's a dangerous critter He was a dangerous critter He's a dangerous critter Alligator on the bayou I was upstairs and - ah - he was down I had never seen one that big around So I wouldn't go down and he couldn't come up But he could have eaten me in one big gulp The guy next door called "Better say where that gator I want to pet its head" I said "Go on, buddy, pet that gator And you'd be dead dead dead" He's a dangerous critter Ooh, a dangerous critter He's a dangerous critter Alligator on the bayou If you touch that gator there'll be one thing I know The rest of your body will be goin' to an undertaker's door 'Cause there's one thing I can tell you and it's true He's the most dangerous critter on the bayou He's a dangerous critter He's a dangerous critter He's a dangerous critter Alligator on the bayou Dangerous critter Dangerous critter Alligator on the bayou
