"See you later, aligator.
In awhile, crocodile"
is now reality.
Thousands of crocs in South Africa
have gone astray.
They have gone, who knows which way?
Frantic search, but the beasts say
"No, No, you won't put us
in your cookpots, or make any
purses or shoes from me.
We were born as slaves, but Hurrrrrah!
now we're free.
"No, No, you won't put us
in your cookpots, or make any
purses or shoes from me.
We were born as slaves, but Hurrrrrah!
now we're free.
"Oh no, you'll not find us,
It will take indeed awhile,
we're in rivers as dark as the night"
Says their primordial toothed smile.
