Le vere strofe di alcune battute della canzone cantata dagli...
UNCLE ALLIGATOR

Uncle alligator,
shakes its little tail
Uncle alligator,
like a lady
uncle alligator,
shakes its big tale
uncle alligator,
like a "big shot" woman

I used to have my little house
set down between see and see
but the storm came
and with it uncle alligator.

And suddenly the land
of his great North opened up
and uncle alligator swallowed
the parcel of land I used to live on

The alligator raised his flag
and took away mine
I told him "Uncle alligator,
that's something I can't stand!

Uncle alligator spoke English
I was going around the world
and each place he went
he pierced with his filthy fang.

Today with his tale cut off
uncle alligator goes crazy
they have beaten him in Cuba
they are beating him in Vietnam

and as sure as I am dark skinned
and no one deceives me
I going to beat him
to beat his father and his mother.
Y hoy con su cola cortada,
el caimán se cayo al agua,
le quitáron el canal,
y tambien la Nicaragua...

Yo como soy chileno...
