The Alligator Swing

Verse 1

There's a gator in the swamp named Clyde

Wears a top hat and he's filled with pride

Traded his teeth for a pair of tap shoes

Now the whole bayou's got the dancing blues

Chorus

Click-clack, snap your jaws, snap the beat

Alligator swing's got everybody on their feet

He's got rhythm in his tail, sass in his stride

Watch that gator tap-dance with the moonlight on his side

Verse 2

The herons stopped to watch, the turtles formed a line

Even grumpy old catfish said "well that's mighty fine"

He spins, he slides, he does a little kick

Never met a gator with a groove this slick

Chorus

Click-clack, snap your jaws, snap the beat

Alligator swing's got everybody on their feet

He's got rhythm in his tail, sass in his stride

Watch that gator tap-dance with the moonlight on his side

Tap Break

Tap tap, shuffle, ball change, tap

(Tap tap) Clyde says

Tap tap, heel toe, snap right back

(Tap tap) watch this

Tap tap tippy tap, gator don't miss

(Tap tap) one more time

Tap tap, spin around, hat in the air

(Tap tap) freeze right there

Chorus

Click-clack, snap your jaws, snap the beat

Alligator swing's got everybody on their feet

He's got rhythm in his tail, sass in his stride

Watch that gator tap-dance with the moonlight on his side

Outro

So if you're ever down by the bayou late at night

Look for the gator dancing in the pale moonlight

He don't bite, he just likes to glide

Clyde the Gator, tap-dancing pride
