The Alligator Pond Went Dry lyrics

Folks, I`m telling you something that I saw with my own eyes,
As I passed the pond one day;
The old alligator was teaching his babies to do the Georgia Grind,
And I heard one of them say:
`This is a social,
But the alligator pond`s going dry,
Yes, it is a social,
But the alligator pond`s going dry!`
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got way back,
He said, `Look out, children, I`m going to throw it off my back,`
Oh, it was a social,
But the alligator pond went dry!
Lord, it must have been a social,
For the alligator pond went dry,
Oh, it must have been a social
For the alligator pond to go dry!
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got real hot,
He said, `We`re gonna have this function whether there`s water or not!`
Oh, it was a social,
For the alligator pond went dry!
Lord, if you don`t believe what I`m saying, ask old Alligator Jack,
Wasn`t a drop of water in the pond when he got back;
It was a social,
But the alligator pond went dry!
