Never smile at a crocodile!x
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin!x
Never smile at a crocodile!x
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away; say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile!x
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette!x
For instance: Never smile at a crocodile!x
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin!x
Never smile at a crocodile!x
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away; say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile!
