Alligator Pie by Dennis Lee

The following is a poem we read as a class. The last verses were done by students.

Alligator pie, alligator pie,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.
Give away the green grass, give away the sky,
But don't give away my alligator pie.

Alligator stew, alligator stew,
If I don't get some I don't know what I'll do.
Give away my furry hat, give away my shoe,
But don't give away my alligator stew.

Alligator soup, alligator soup,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna droop.
Give away my hockey-stick, give away my hoop,
But don't give away my alligator soup.


Alligator cake, alligator cake,
If I don't get some I think I'll shake.
Give away my underwear, give away my steak,
But don't give away my alligator shake.

Alligator steak, alligator steak,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna bake.
Give away my Booker T, give away my sugar and tea,
But don't give away my alligator steak.


Alligator macaroni, alligator macaroni,
If I don't get some I think I'll go lonely.
Give away my skateboard, give away my Sony,
But don't give away my alligator maacaroni.

Alligator steak, alligator steak,
If I don't get some I think I'm gonna bake.
Give away my heart, give away my cake,
But don't give away my alligator steak.
