I feel like an alligator Climbing up the escalator Climbing up the escalator, I feel strong I feel like an aviator pilot (bet you wouldn't buy it) I'm feeling violent (betcha bad eye it) Turn up the fly it, beat. Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn. I feel like an autopilot. I'm heroic strong and silent. I feel like a rage coming under my hood, I feel good and calm like a robot would. I feel like an autopilot I feel like an autopilot I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn (I feel like a contradiction I'm a walking science-fiction I don't know whichever way to turn I have got, have got, have got a lot of lot to burn!) If I didn't like the way you stared at me. If I didn't like the way you stared at me! I could knock the sideways, I could knock you blind I could show you found to the lost and find. I am not an agitator I feel like an alligator Climbing up the escalator... Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn I have got, have got a lot to learn (You've so much to learn, you've got a lot to learn)
