Mosquitos buzzin' round my head Spanish moss for my bed There is seldom seen dried land cause I'm an Alligator man I hunt the gator all night long sell his hiding then I'm gone I see the belles from bayou shanty love this Alligator man This bayou country is my home and from this place I'll never roam For I'm the leader of the clan oh I'm the Alligator man When I bring my hides to town all the people gather round They just want to shake the hand of the top gator man Some people search their world for fame but fightin' gators is my game And the scars on my hand cause I'm an Alligator man Top gator man until I die when I marry by and by A pretty belle from the bayou shant we'll raise a little gator man
