Alligator Purse Lyrics

    (kenya slaughter walker/nick pellegrino)

    I called him for days, he didn't answer the phone
    I drove by his house, i knew he was home
    A week's worth of papers and mail in the box
    I thought he was dead, i picked the lock
    I found him in tears in the dark on his knees
    With a hole in his chest where his heart used to be
    And he said...

    Don't call the doctor, don't call the nurse
    Call for the lady with the alligator purse
    She knows the spell to lift this curse
    Go find the lady with the alligator purse

    In an old stone house off 21st
    I found the lady with the alligator purse
    She answered the door, said i know who you are
    She lit a candle, consulted the stars
    When i saw her closing that reptile's hide
    I asked her point-blank, is my friend going to die
    And she said...

    I'm not a doctor, i'm not a nurse
    I'm just the lady with the alligator purse
    Hope for the best, prepare for the worst
    So said the lady with the alligator purse

    She said, look at what happened to cleopatra
    When she didn't take my advice
    And romeo, juliet, they didn't get it
    Too bad, those kids were so nice

    By the time we got back to my pitiful pal
    There was no sign of life till he saw the alligator
    Purse on her arm, the gleam in her eyes
    She opened the bag, there was nothing inside
    She said, there's no secret, it's love that i use
    I just carry this bag because it matches my shoes
    And she said...

    Don't call the doctor, don't call the nurse
    Don't call the lady with the alligator purse
    Love is the magic of the universe
    Take it from the lady with the alligator purse

    Love is the magic of the universe
    Take it from the lady with the alligator purse
    The lady with the alligator purse
