Alligator Eating Dog

Lyrics

[ Intro ] [Dog barking] Let me tell you ′bout a dog I've got He ain′t no Fido and he ain't no Spot He's a blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin′ dog [ Verse 1 ] Ears like radar, eyes like fire Feet like a bear, hair like wire He's a blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin′ dog [ Spoken Interlude ] Now ladies and gentlemen, see one of these dogs Don′t make the mistake about going up to him And pettin' him over here talkin′ about "Nice little dog, my daddy bought me one when I was a little girl" You know what's gonna happen "OWWWW!" [ dog growl ] [ Verse 2 ] He′s so mean and that's no lie The cottonmouth bit him, and the cottonmouth died He's a blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin′ dog Now if you ever down in Louisiana For God′s sakes don't ever put your hand on the Blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin′ dog [ Spoken Interlude ] Now if one of you beer drinkers ever see one of these dogs Don't make the mistake about trying to pet him What you do — you walk up behind him Walk up some, pull up his ear and you blow "pfooof" [Dog barking] [ Verse 3 ] I don′t care what kind of beer you love Put your hand on that dog, you're gonna draw back a nub He's a blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin' dog He treats the swamp like it wasn't there Walk on water, fly through the air [ Spoken Verse 4 ] Now ladies, I would have brought him with me tonight But you know they wouldn′t let the fool on the plane He kept bitin′ out of the cages And swallowin' all the chains So I left him home with my granny She′s the only one that whoop the fanny of the Blue-gummed, Catahoula, alligator-eatin' dog [ Chorus / Outro ] Alligator-eatin′ dog Alligator-eatin' dog "Look out!, here he comes!" [ dog barking ]
