The Alligator Pond Went Dry

Folks, I'm telling you something that I saw with my own eyes
As I passed the pond one day
The old alligator was teaching his babies to do the Georgia Grind
And I heard one of them say
"This is a social 
But the alligator pond's going dry 
Yes, it is a social
But the alligator pond's going dry!" 
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got way back 
He said, "Look out, children, I'm going to throw it off my back" 
Oh, it was a social
But the alligator pond went dry! 
Lord, it must have been a social 
For the alligator pond went dry
Oh, it must have been a social 
For the alligator pond to go dry! 
Now, old Mister Alligator, he got real hot 
He said, "We're gonna have this function whether there's water or not!" 
Oh, it was a social 
For the alligator pond went dry! 
Lord, if you don't believe what I'm saying, ask old Alligator Jack 
Wasn't a drop of water in the pond when he got back 
It was a social
But the alligator pond went dry!
