Lyrics

(CN.C.)Well, I saw my ba by (C6)walk ing

you with an oth er man to day;

She well, I saw my ba by (F9)walk ing

you with an oth er man to (C6)day.

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

re this is what I heard her (C6)say:

(CN.C.)“See you lat er, al li (C6)ga tor,

af ter ’while, croc o dile;

see you lat er, al li (F9)ga tor,

af ter ’while, croc o (C6)dile.

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

Don’t you know you cramp my (C6)style?”

She When I thought of what she (C6)told me,

I near ly made me lose my head;

She when I thought of what she (F9)told me,

I near ly made me lose my (C6)head.

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

and mind ed her of what she (C6)said.

(CN.C.)“See you lat er, al li (C6)ga tor,

af ter ’while, croc o dile;

see you lat er, al li (F9)ga tor,

af ter ’while, croc o (C6)dile.

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

Don’t you know you cramp my (C6)style?”

She said, “I’m sor ry, pret ty (C6)style?”
