Echo Chant by Jean Feldman, Ph.D.

Alligator, (quiet voice)
Alligator, (medium voice)
Alligator, (loud voice)
Can be your friend; can be your friend;
can be your friend, too!

The alligator is my friend,
And he can be your friend, too.
If only you could understand.
Don't wear him as a shoe!
(chorus)

The alligator is my friend.
He likes to sing and rap.
If only you could understand,
Don't wear him as a cap!
(chorus)

The alligator is my friend.
He likes to dance and flirt.
If only you could understand.
Don't wear him as a skirt!
(chorus)

The alligator is my friend.
He has a fine pelt.
If only you could understand.
Don't wear him as a belt.
(chorus)
