It’s a tiny critter from a Louisiana swamp
Came outta the slime and began to romp
Two science Docs made a strange find
You won’t believe, ’cause it blew my mind
The little critters were puttin’ up a fight
Hard to catch in the middle of the night
Swimin' in circles and clickin’ there claws
Shreddin’ the nets and snappin' there jaws
While checkin them out at the University
Found a new swamp bug growin’ wild and free
“Had to trick ‘em to catch ‘em’,” the doctor said,
Played ‘em zydeco music and they went to bed
After jumpin’ in our nets, with a happy cheer,
We tranquilized ‘em with a little bit of beer.”
Not all brew barrels went into the swamp
The tipsy crew began to dance and stomp
So tired and hongry now, I cannot tell lie
Broke out a skillet for that Crawligator pie
As the tale goes on, the doctors rose to fame
The Crawligator Bayou will never be the same
