(Screamin' Jay Hawkins / Live WFMU "Music Faucet" , Oct 11th 1992)

Ah ah ah aaaaaaaah!

Take the blood out of an alligator

Take the left eye of a fish, yeah

Take the skin off of a frog, yeah

And mix it up in a dish

Add a cup of grease swamp water

And then countin' one to nine

Spit over your left shoulder

And you got alligator wine

Alligator wine

Your porcupine

Is gonna make you mine

Is gonna make you mine

It'll make your head bald, babe

I say it make your toes freeze

It'll turn your blood into steam - SHHH!

It'll make you cough and sneeze

You gotta scream like an eagle

You gonna roar like a mountain lion

When you finished drinking

Good old alligator wine

Alligator wine

Your porcupine

Is gonna make you mine

Is gonna make you mine

Ah yeah ! Wouh !

Meet me at the stroke of midnight

By the swamp down in the wood

I'm gonna make you love me babe

Like you never thought you could

You gonna drink my magic potion

And your blood shut eye is gonna shine

You'd be scared forever

Oh my alligator wine

Alligator wine

Gonna make you mine

Your porcupine

Is gonna make you mine

Is gonna make you mine

Waouh! uh uh uh!
