Well, I saw my baby walking
With another man today
Well, I saw my baby walking
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
Can`t you see
You`re in my way now
Don`t you know
You cramp my style

When I though of what she told me
Nearly made me lose my head
When I though 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

(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 it just for play
I said wait a minute, gator
I know you mean it just for play
Don`t you know you really hurt me
And this is what I have to say

(CHORUS)

See you later, alligator
After while, crocodile
See you later, alligator
So long, that`s all, goodbye
