Nanny goat is crying in the middle of the night
Momma alligator is looking for a bite
Two little goaties went out to play
None came back to see the light of day
And they became a midnight snack
You better watch your back

Yellow eyes, teeth that mauls
Sandy hair, dirty claws
Right there in the trees
He's so stealth, you can't see
The beast is coming for you
And there is nothing you can do

Cause that's the nature of his game
Victimizing and causing pain
He's just trying to get on by
You better say your goodbyes

Long tongue, scaly skin
No arms, venom
You're the meat
You better run
Or a snack you'll become
The beast is coming for you
He'll sink his teeth right into you

And you can run
Oh, you can hide
But you'll just be biding time

Billy and Nan where first the list
Next thing you know it is you kids
He'll be back and he'll want some more
Before you know it, he's at your door
So don't be rude, pop a 'lude
And get in the mood
Cause you are food
