Lots of gator on the bayou
Big sharp teeth
Move through the water
In the night like a thief
If you're down on the bayou and you lose your way
Gator gonna help you if you sing the right way
When you're down on the bayou better play what the gator wanna hear
Lots of snake on the bayou
Poison as hell
Hide in the bushes
And the trees as well
If you're down on the bayou late at night
Snake won't bother if the beat is right
When you're down on the bayou better play what the snake wanna hear
Lots of people on the bayou
You don't see
Turn you into gator-bait
And get away free
If you play on the bayou, make people dance
You see them shakin', fire ants in their pants
When you're down on the bayou better play what the people wanna hear
