See You Later, Alligator

See Yoy Later, Alligator es una de las canciones más conocidas y reconocidas del Rock and Roll de los años 50, escrita, compuesta y grabada por vez primera por el cantautor norteamericano Bobby Charles en 1955 bajo el título Later, Alligator, aunque el reconocimiento y el éxito llego cuando poco después la canción la grabó Bill Haley & His Comets y que fue estrenada en la película Rock Around the Clock en 1956.

El tema ha tenido numerosas versiones a lo largo de todo el mundo y hasta el grupo infantil español Parchís realizó una versión con el título Hasta luego cocodrilo en 1982 para la película Las locuras de Parchís.

See Yoy Later, Alligator

Well I saw my baby walkin',

With another man today,

Well I saw my baby walkin'

With another man today.

When I asked her "What's the matter?"

This is what I heard her say.

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

Can't you see you're in my way now?

Don't you know you cramp my style?

When I thought of what she told me,

Nearly made me lose my head,

When I thought of what she told me,

Nearly made me lose my head.

But the next time that I saw her,

Reminded her of what she said.

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

Can't you see you're in my way now?

Don't you know you cramp my style?

She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,

You know my love is just for you."

She said, "I'm sorry, pretty daddy,

You know my love is just for you,

Won't you say that you'll forgive me,

And say your love for me is true."

I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,

I know you mean't it just for play."

I said, "Wait a minute, 'gator,

I know you mean't it just for play.

Don't you know you really hurt me,

And this is what I have to say."

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

See you later alligator,

After 'while, crocodile.

Can't you see you're in my way now?

Don't you know you cramp my style?

See you later alligator,

after 'while crocodile,

See you later alligator,

So long, that's all,

Goodbye.
