See You Later Alligator

Little Feat · Join The Band [1989]

Well, I saw my baby walkin' with another man today

Yes, I saw my baby walkin' with another man today

When I asked her what's the matter

This is what I heard her say

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile

Don't you know you're in my way now

Can't you see you cramp my style

When I though of what she told me, nearly made me lose my head

When I though of what she told me, nearly made me lose my head

Well, when she asked what's the matter

Reminded her of what she said

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile

Don't you know you're in my way now

Can't you see you cramp my style

I said wait a minute 'gator, I know you meant it just for play

I said wait a minute 'gator, I know you meant it just for play

But don't you know you really hurt me

And this is what I have to say

See you later alligator, well after 'while crocodile

See you later alligator, well after 'while crocodile

Don't you know you're in my way now

Can't you see you cramp my style
