lyrics

I am the crocodile
I am the mayor of Crocodopolis
I mean, the king, I’m the king of that
That place
Long ago, someone lied and then we cried
And now it’s like...nothing matters
So we cry and eat and eat and cry
And I feel the pain, yes
I cry and I eat
Ask not what your croc can do for you
But what you can do for your croctry
We will put a croc-man on the croc-moon
For my name isn’t John F. Crocerdy
And I will weep with happiness
When I see those spry, young croc-men
Or women! Or croc-women bounce around
On the croc-moon, too soon, not soon enough

Good night and party on
Marily Croc-roe standing on a grate
It’ll be great, it’ll be great, wouldn’t it be great
It’ll be great, wouldn’t it be great

Country croc, out in the farm
Tilling the soil of the crocs
Maybe we’ll all grow some crocodedrons
Or a croc-nado or a croc-melon
Or some corn on the croc
Maybe we’ll go down and play the tub bass
Washtub bass, the croc
We’ll wear crocorals and it’ll be hot
Hot croc soup for dinner tonight
Hot croc soup for dinner tomorrow night
Hot croc soup for breakfast the day after

I must go now for I need to weep a thousand tears
For a thousand years where we’ve been called liars
But they started the fires
