Guitar chords with lyrics
- Capo on 4th
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Difficulty: Novice
Verse 1:
Am G
There’s an alligator in the house
E7 Am
A toothy grin appears beneath my chair
Am G
A scaly tail goes sliding out of sight
E7 Am
Now it’s gone - was it ever there?
Am G
Something odd has moved into the house
E7 Am
Reptilian tracks lead underneath our bed
Am G
And all the cats are tasty, fat, and scared
E7 Am
Though I doubt we’ve lost any yet
Chorus:
Am G F E
So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone
E7 Am E
have an alligator somewhere, somehow?
Am G F E
And maybe this one has always been here,
E7 Am
but I never noticed it till now.
Verse 2:
Am G
There’s an alligator in the house
E7 G
Just caught her napping in the living room
Am G
She was dozing on the velvet couch
E7 Am
And the cats were sleeping there too
Am G
There’s an alligator in the house
E7 Am
No one seems to mind except for me
Am G
Well, at least she doesn’t eat the cats
E7 Am
I suspect she’d rather eat me
Am G
There’s an alligator in the pit
E7 Am
she is dancing wildly with the snakes
Am G
to win them over to her cause
E7 Am
she will do whatever it takes
Am G
They think I don’t see their little smiles
E7 Am
as they plan a reptilian overthrow
Am G
but I hear them talking in my dreams
E7 Am
they will not be sad to see me go!
Chorus:
Am G F E
So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone
E7 Am E
have an alligator somewhere, somehow?
Am G F E
And maybe this one has always been here,
E7 Am
but I never noticed it till now.
Solo:
Am G E7 Am
¡Olé! Aligator... Aligator? ¡Ah!
Verse 3:
Am G
I’ve begun to worry ‘bout my toes
E7 Am
The alligator seems to think they’re nice
Am G
I’ve counted all of them a hundred times
E7 Am
But I never got the same answer twice
Am G
There’s an alligator in my bed
E7 Am
she is not a master of disguise
Am G
just a pillow waiting for my head
E7 Am
soft and sweet and hungrily she lies
Am G
There’s an alligator in the house
E7 Am
Today she joined me for a spot of tea
Am G
She helped herself to raspberries and cream
E7 Am
And she didn’t leave any for me
Am G
Well I thought that I had seen it all
E7 Am
but this alligator proved me wrong
Am G
like a lady as she drank her tea
E7 Am
she sang to me this little song:
Am G F E
“So what’s the big deal, doesn’t everyone
E7 Am E
have an alligator somewhere somehow?
Am G F E
I know that you’d miss me if you found me gone
E7 Am
though you never noticed until now!”
Chorus:
Am G F E
So what’s the big deal? Doesn’t everyone
E7 Am E
have an alligator somewhere, somehow?
Am G F E
And maybe this one has always been here,
E7 Am
but I never noticed it till now.
