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!
