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
