Alligators in the Swamp
…to the tune of London Bridge
Alligators in the swamp,
in the swamp, in the swamp.
Alligators in the swamp,
living in the water.
Alligators have sharp teeth,
have sharp teeth, have sharp teeth.
Alligators have sharp teeth,
and chomp very hard.
Alligators are very green,
Very green, very green.
Alligators are very green,
and good swimmers too.

Alligator, Alligator
Alligator, alligator turn around,
Alligator, alligator touch the ground.
Alligator, alligator chomp your jaws
Alligator, alligator show your claws.
Alligator, alligator get down low,
Alligator, alligator move real slow.
Alligator, alligator look up high
Alligator, alligator say good-bye!
Five Little Monkeys Swinging in a Tree
Five little monkeys
Swinging in a tree,
Teasing Mr. Alligator,
“You can’t catch me!”
Along came the alligator,
His mouth open wide and…
Snapped that monkey down inside!
I have a little Gator
I have a little gator,
He lives in a box.
He swam in a puddle,
He climbed on some rocks.
He snapped at a mosquito,
He snapped at a flea,
He snapped at a minnow,
And he snapped at me!
He caught the mosquito,
He caught the flea,
He caught the minnow,
But he couldn’t catch me!
