AIRIE - October 2019

This talk, and the ones by Ranger Olivia on October 2 and Ranger Lil on October 3 were the inspiration for this new song:

The Difference

©2019 Grant Livingston

Hey Ranger Daniel, can you tell me

The difference 'tween a 'gator and a croc?

Can you tell me a simple rule by which 

I can tell which one is what?

He said a gator has a rounded snout

Like a letter "U", you see

While the croc has got a pointy nose

It is shaped like the letter "V"

And a crocodile is tan or gray

Or something in between

While a gator's black, or maybe brown

Only Gatorade is green!

Chorus: And that is how you tell the difference

Between these two reptiles

See you later, alligator

In a while, crocodile

Hey Ranger Lil, can you tell me

The difference 'tween a 'gator and a croc

She said, you oughta look at the water

So you can tell which one is what

The gator likes fresh water

And that's where he likes to be

But the crocodile likes salty water

Like you find in the open sea

So the gator builds a gator hole

Where he can stay when the weather's dry

But the croc can swim across the ocean

He's a very well-travelled guy!

Repeat Chorus:

SOLO

And Ranger Olivia says

That gator's got a handsome grin

He looks like a crocodile would look 

When the orthodontist gets through with him

And that is how you tell the difference

Between these two reptiles

See you later, alligator

In a while, crocodile

I mean, see you later, alligator

In a while, crocodile
