Alligator Pie
Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna cry,
Take away the green grass, take away the sky, but
Don't take away my alligator pie!
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna cry,
Take away the green grass, take away the sky, but
Don't take away my alligator pie!
If your child has come home chanting about Alligator Pie, you have me to thank! We learned this fun chant the first day of music class and also created choreography as a class to go along with the words. See if your child remembers the rhyme and the movements that go with it!

Down by the bay
Where the watermelons grow
Back to my home
I dare not go
For if I do
My mother will say:
