My wife asked me to write a song about spring that would have alligators in it. So I did.

Features the regular Bullfrog trio, plus Peeter Piik on bass and Raul Terep on drums.

Early one morning
Early one spring
The sun was out of bed
And the world began to swing
Big alligators crawled around
And whispered by the docks
The snakes were gettin' kinda long
To fit inside their socks

A rabbit came
And shook my hand
He kindly took the picture of
This entire band
Said "Here you go, kind Mister,
Just frame it on the wall
Like all the other Jesuses
Bit further down the hall"

A bear came by to see us and
To make a request
Black Sabbath's "Paranoid"
Was what he liked the best
A girl with many faces
Took pictures of my song
She messed up all the lyrics
And exposed the chords too long

The sun was on a stroll
And we were captured still
The air was gettin' slippery
And stuck inside the film
The girl with many faces
Left two for me to keep:
One inside my wallet
And one beside my cheek
