Well I saw my baby walkin',
With another man today,
Well I saw my baby walkin'
With another man today
When I asked her "What's the matter?"
This is what I heard her say

Chorus:
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile
See you later alligator,
After 'while, crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now?
Can't you see you cramp my style?

When I thought of what she told me,
Nearly made me lose my head,
When I thought of what she told me,
Nearly made me lose my head
But the next time that I saw her,
Reminded her of what she said

Repeat Chorus

She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,
You know my love is just for you"
She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,
You know my love is just for you,
Won't you say that you'll forgive me,
And say your love for me is true"

I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,
I know you mean't it just for play"
I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,
I know you mean't it just for play
Don't you know you really hurt me,
And this is what I have to say"

Repeat Chorus

See you later alligator, after 'while crocodile,
See you later alligator,
So long, that's all,
Goodbye
