Lyrics
1. Well, I saw my baby walking
With another man today
Well I saw my baby walking
With another man today
When I asked her what’s the matter
This is what I heard her say
Refrain:
See you later, alligator
After ‘while, crocodile
See you later, alligator
After ‘while, crocodile
Can’t you see you’re in my way, now
Don’t you know you cramp my style?
2. When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made my lose my mind
When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made my lose my mind
But the next time that I saw her
Reminded her of what she said
3. She said, I’m sorry, pretty daddy
You know my love is just for you
She said, I’m sorry, pretty daddy
You know my love is just for you
Won’t you say that you’ll forgive me
And say your love for me is true
4. I said, wait a minute, ‘gator
I know you meant it just for play
I said, wait a minute, ‘gator
I know you meant it just for play
Don’t you know you really hurt me
And this is what I have to say
