Lyrics

Well, I saw my ba by (C)walk ing

with an oth er man to day.

Well, I saw my ba by (F7)walk ing

with an oth er man to (C)day.

When I asked her what’s the (G7)mat ter,

re this is what I heard her (C)say:

“See you lat er, al li (C)ga tor,

af ter ’while croc o dile.

See you lat er, al li (F7)ga tor,

af ter ’while croc o (C)dile.

Can’t you see you’re in my (G7)way, now,

don’t you know you cramp my (C)style?”

When I thought of what she (C)told me,

near ly made me lose my head.

When I thought of what she (F7)told me,

near ly made me lose my (C)head.

But the next time that I (G7)saw her,

re mind ed her of what she (C)said:

“See you lat er, al li (C)ga tor,

af ter ’while croc o dile.

See you lat er, al li (F7)ga tor,

af ter ’while croc o (C)dile.

Can’t you see you’re in my (G7)way, now,

don’t you know you cramp my (C)style?”

When I thought of what she (C)style?
