An alligator spends his life
    Basking in the sun.
He doesn’t get much exercise 
    And friends?  Well he has none.

​

He wears a scaly jacket 
    And has a longish snout - 
But if you see him in the water, 
    Well it’s best that you keep out.

​

He lives a solitary life 
    For he’s someone others fear.
He’d love to eat you for his lunch,
    So you stay really clear.

​

He cannot get a dentist now
     For dentists just won’t come.
The last time that one visited,
     He left without his thumb.

​

If you’d like to meet an alligator,
    Meet one at a zoo.
You’ll see him there behind the glass,
     And he’ll be studying you.
