Malvin Marr Lives in Alligator Swamp And plays the bass guitar While his foot does stomp Like it stomped one time On the facilitator Of his swamp nightmare An alligator As big as a bear With a mouth like a cave Full of stalagmites Stalactites And an alligator's eagerness For taking bites Of muskrats and beavers And cypress trees And python snakes And human knees Malvin Marr Jumped high in the air While the alligator Lay yawning there With mouth wide open Not merely ajar To take a chomp Out of the bass guitar That fell in the swamp When Malvin Marr Went running and trembling And resembling A fearful quivering Shivering Snack that the alligator Would prefer by far To the shellac taste Of a bass guitar Malvin Marr Never had a wife That bass guitar Was his whole damn life And his anger grew And his indignation That this damn green beast This abomination Would make a feast Of the only thing He cared about With an awful shout He swore that Without a doubt He'd get his vengeance Viciously On the alligator's Gluttony Malvin Marr Ran into his shack And grabbed a hunting knife Then he ran back To where the alligator With bass strings stuck Between his teeth Ran out of luck Because from its sheath Malvin Marr Drew out the blade And he made The alligator battle In the swampy glade The bloody sun Gave way to night And the alligator Lost the fight Malvin Marr Wears alligator shoes And an alligator overcoat For singing the blues He has a bass guitar That's strung with strings Down across rib bones And the way it rings And hums and moans Is the capturing Of the alligator's soul Like a burning coal That Malvin Marr Is in control of As he thumps the strings And plays in key Of Alligator Swamp Mythology
