Crocodile Song - Janis Ian

There was a lady name of Annie May

She fell in love at the zoo one day

That crocodile with the big white smile

Stole her very heart away

The courtship was brief but quite intense

Once he got under the barbed wire fence

On the honeymoon night

She turned on the light

And said «darling meaning no offense…»

«Good God Almighty, those teeth are huge

«No way I’ll do the hokey pokey with you»

So they went to the dentist, who pulled all but two

It’s amazing what love can do

It’s amazing what love can do

They had a son and named him Rocky, of course

He fell for a gal on the police force

She was impressed with his bullet proof vest

So they let the romance run its course

They rented a room at the Hotel Ritz

They sat on the edge of the bed and kissed

She took off her blues, he took off his shoes

It was then she almost called it quits

She said «Good God Almighty, those nails are huge

«No hanky panky, or it’s jail for you»

So he pulled them all out

Just as fast as he could chew

It’s amazing what love can do

It’s amazing what love can do

I swear every word of my tale is true

You better be careful, it could happen to you

Nobody knows where true love grows

'Til they stand in someone else’s shoes

Good God Almighty, it’s a funny old world

Boys will be boys and girls’ll be girls

The whole darn thing is just one big zoo

And it’s amazing what love can do

It’s amazing what love can do

It’s amazing what love can do
