Pop the Gator

歌詞

Got up early in the morning 'Bout the crack of dawn, 'Cause old Shoogie told me He could find me one. Went out way past Where I had never been, In flat-bottom pirouge With an Evinrude twin. Past Barataria, Past Chenier au Tigre, Where old Shoogie told me That he saw one last year. On a midden mound Off Southwest Pass, We stopped the boat And got out at last. There was a rain storm falling There was thunder in the air, When old Shoogie pointed Take a look down there, What did I see, I swear that it's true, That old black gator Was 20 feet 2. Pop the Gator, Grab 'em by the tail, Put 'em in the sack, Throw 'em in the boat And you bring 'em to the shack. Aligator's good on a bar-b-q. If it's too tough to chew You put 'em in a stew. And if you still can't swallow, I"ll tell you what to do: Roll 'em up and make you some Italian shoes. I like my gator tail long and lean, But don't you give me none of that nouvelle cuisine. If you want to do it right, you gotta pay the cost
