Lyrics

1958 Screamin' Jay Hawkins
AAH! AAAH!!
HA HA HA!
Take the blood out of an alligator, yeah
Take the left eye of a fish, yeah
Take the skin off of a frog, yeah
Yeah, and mix it up in a dish
Add a cup of grease swamp water
And then countin' one to nine
Spit over your left shoulder
And you got alligator wine
Alligator wine - YEHE HUH UH
Your porcupine
Is gonna make you mine, oh yeah
Yeah, is gonna make you mine
It'll make your head bald, babe
I say it make your toes freeze
It'll turn your blood into steam - ASHHH!
It'll make you cough and sneeze
You gotta scream UHH like an eagle
You gonna roar like a mountain lion
When you get finished drinking
Good old, yeah, alligator wine
Alligator wine
Your porcupine
Is gonna make you mine
AH HUH HUH
Meet at the stroke of midnight
By the swamp down in the wood
I'm gonna make you love me babe
Like you never thought you could
You gonna break my magic potion
And your blood [...] eye is gonna shine
You gonna be scared forever
Too much alligator wine
Alligator wine
WHOAA - alligator wine
Yeah yeh, is gonna make you mine
HUH HUH AAH
Alligator, alligator wine
HUH AAH
1983 Screamin' Jay Hawkins
 
 
Take the blood out of an alligator
Take the left eyeball out of a fish, UH
Take the skin off from a frog, UUH
And mix it up in a dish
Grab a bowl with green swamp funky water
Then count from one to nine
Spit over your left shoulder
And you got alligator wine
Alligator wine
Your porcupine - WHOA
Is gonna make you, yeah
I said, gonna make you, yeah
I say, gonna make you mine
It'll make your head bald, baby
It'll make your toes freeze
It'll turn your blood into steam
It'll make you cough and sneeze
You gotta scream OOH like an eagle
You gonna roar like a mountain lion
When you get finished drinking
Good old alligator wine
Alligator wine UH WHOO
Your porcupine
Is gonna make you
I say, is gonna make you mine
Meet at the stroke of midnight
By the swamp down in the wood
I'm gonna make you love me babe
Like you never thought you could
You gonna break my magic potion
And your bloodshot eyes will shine
You'll be a slave forever
Too much alligator wine
Alligator wine OOOOH HOO
I say gonna make you mine
Little alligator
Tall alligator
Brown alligators
Square alligators
Fat alligators
Cross-eyed alligators
Funky alligators
Crocodiles, too
Hippopotamus knee-caps
Dwarf nose
Baboon lips
Around your [...] ears
Alligator wine
