Blood,           gator blood, I got gator blood


Chicken on a hotplate gobbledegook
Come on up, honey and take a look
Mighty fine weather this time of year
Shake a tail feather you chicken you hear

Blood, gator blood, I got gator blood

Chicken on a hotplate it?s gonna dance
Gonna lose these chickens my first chance
Don?t you know I?m a flim flam man
A chicken show it ain?t worth a damn
Gator blood, I got gator blood

I got a country boy, he?s a bird who sings
Butter paddle, buck?n wing
Kid?s got a winner bonafide hit
I?m gonna have my dinner on a spit
Blood, gator blood, I got gator blood

Hoopla, humbug, howdy-do
Gonna make you into chicken stew
Alligator in the mud
Don?t you know I got gator blood
Gator blood, I got gator blood

Never lend a dollar to your good friend Tom
Hogwash Holler is where he?s from
If you got treasure all in a vault
And he gets you, baby that?s your own fault
