Ollie the Alligator

Well gather on round And I'll tell you the tale Of Ollie the Alligator My best friend, that I know so well Well he may not be green He may not have scales Or even a tail But he's the coolest gator So far as I can tell Well I met my man Ollie When he was just a little guy And I will never forget That beautiful July And August, to say goodbye Those many nights I cried Led me to finally ask why I didn't want to play With a gator everyday And help to take your loneliness away Without you life was not okay You changed my life for good In so many ways I love you more than you know I wanted to write you this song To tell you so And though you may not Call me your gator dad You make me glad I get to be the one To have you as my alligator son You gave me one billion nights To see if I treat you right And not go out of site again But to me no time is ever enough Even when your times are rough I know being an alligator can get quite tough I didn't know I needed a gator in my day But I'd die before anyone could take it away Oh snap Ollies in the backyard Swinging a bat Better go out quickly And take care of that But I end up playing alligator games all day And the truth is I wouldn't have it any other way Gotta say You're the coolest large reptile I've met Never forget the way you laughed When you got me wet I love all the things that you say And all of the ways that you brighten up my day I love you more than you know I wanted to write you this song To tell you so And though you may not Call me your gator dad You make me glad I get to be the one To have you as my alligator son
