B
Em
when the alligators get together.
You know, when I was a young gator,
B
my grandfather used to tell
Em
me what things were like
B
when he was my age.
Em
Back then, we were con sidered
B
an endangered species
Em
on the brink of extinction.
People were tearing up our swamp
to build strip malls and flimsy houses.
B
Em
They were trying to make belts
and handbags
B
out of our skin.
Baug
Oh, mama needs a
Em
new pair of shoes,
B
let's just go grab a gator.
Em
Until some people started
looking out for us,
E
actually protecting us.
See, we've been around
Am
for 150 million years.
D
We saw the dinosaurs come and go.
G
That was 65 million years ago.
E
I tell you what,
you stay out of our swamp,
Am
we'll stay out of your backyard.
F
Cause we're not going anywhere,
B
Em
we'll see you later.
