Alligator In The House

C#m B There’s an alligator in the house G#7 C#m A toothy grin appears beneath my chair C#m B A scaly tail goes sliding out of sight G#7 C#m Now it’s gone - was it ever there? C#m B Something odd has moved into the house G#7 C#m Reptilian tracks lead underneath our bed C#m B And all the cats are tasty, fat, and scared G#7 C#m Though I doubt we’ve lost any yet C#m B A G# So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone G#7 C#m G# have an alligator somewhere, somehow? C#m B A G# And maybe this one has always been here, G#7 C#m but I never noticed it till now. C#m B There’s an alligator in the house G#7 C#m Just caught her napping in the living room C#m B She was dozing on the velvet couch G#7 C#m And the cats were sleeping there too C#m B There’s an alligator in the house G#7 C#m No one seems to mind except for me C#m B Well, at least she doesn’t eat the cats G#7 C#m I suspect she’d rather eat me C#m B There’s an alligator in the pit G#7 C#m she is dancing wildly with the snakes C#m B to win them over to her cause G#7 C#m she will do whatever it takes C#m B They think I don’t see their little smiles G#7 C#m as they plan a reptilian overthrow C#m B but I hear them talking in my dreams G#7 C#m they will not be sad to see me go! C#m B A G# So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone G#7 C#m G# have an alligator somewhere, somehow? C#m B A G# And maybe this one has always been here, G#7 C#m but I never noticed it till now. C#m B G#7 C#m ¡Olé! Aligator... Aligator? ¡Ah! C#m B I’ve begun to worry ‘bout my toes G#7 C#m The alligator seems to think they’re nice C#m B I’ve counted all of them a hundred times G#7 C#m But I never got the same answer twice C#m B There’s an alligator in my bed G#7 C#m she is not a master of disguise C#m B just a pillow waiting for my head G#7 C#m soft and sweet and hungrily she lies C#m B There’s an alligator in the house G#7 C#m Today she joined me for a spot of tea C#m B She helped herself to raspberries and cream G#7 C#m And she didn’t leave any for me C#m B Well I thought that I had seen it all G#7 C#m but this alligator proved me wrong C#m B like a lady as she drank her tea G#7 C#m she sang to me this little song: C#m B A G# “So what’s the big deal, doesn’t everyone G#7 C#m G# have an alligator somewhere somehow? C#m B A G# I know that you’d miss me if you found me gone G#7 C#m though you never noticed until now!” C#m B A G# So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone G#7 C#m G# have an alligator somewhere, somehow? C#m B A G# And maybe this one has always been here, G#7 C#m but I never noticed it till now. C#m B There's an alligator in my head...
