Sesame Street - Sparky's Alligator Song lyrics

Mom: (in doorway, to Gerald, who is in bed) Goodnight, dear. Dad: (in doorway, too, to Gerald) Goodnight, Gerald. (and to the dog, on the floor beside the bed) Goodnight, Sparky. Mom: (to Sparky) Goodnight, Sparky. Gerald: Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight, Dad. Goodnight, Sparky. (Door closes and lights go out. Sparky jumps up and runs to the foot of the bed where he makes a huge shadow of an alligator on the wall) Sparky: (singing) Imagine me an alligator! (chorus in background sings "Alligator!") Gerald: MOM! There's an alligator in my room! Mom: (coming in; Sparky dashes back beside the bed) I don't see an alligator. Gerald: Sure, it's not there now, but when you turn out the light, it's there! Mom: Go to sleep, Gerald. It's just your imagination. (Door closes and lights go out. Up jumps Sparky.) Sparky: (singing) Sweet potato! (chorus: "Alligator!") I was lookin' -- Gerald: MOM!!!!! Mom & Dad: (opening door; Sparky of course returns to spot) What is it?! Gerald: The alligator! It's back! Mom: (leaving) Go to sleep, Gerald. (Sparky resumes his song) Sparky: (singing) And you came by for me to munch ya! I'm afraid of gettin' thinner Won't you please become my dinner -- Gerald: (peeking over the end of the bed) Sparky!!! It was you all the time! (Sparky blushes and goes to sleep) Mom: (from hallway) What is that singing? Gerald: Oh, nothing, Mom. Just your imagination. (grins)
