Here he comes and there he goes

Got a brand new suit of clothes

Looks around and sniffs the air (What you find)

Well he'll have her on a fork and spoon (What you find)

And he'll toss her right back over the moon (What you find)

Watch out there in the yard (What you find)

Rule number one: don't try too hard



I believed he was my friend

Right up till he stopped pretending

He makes amends though it's ended long ago

Ah, he's moving in now just some piece

Everybody looks like the police

Feet of gold and on his skin of fleece

Sock and shepherd (??) bring out niece



He's a reptile and it shows

Got a web between his toes (?)

He's a reptile back in town

He's a reptile hanging 'round tonight

He's a reptile, never cries

He's a reptile, never dies



Here he comes and there he goes

And where he's been it hardly shows

He covers up so very well

But I can tell see your baby she's been on the sand

How the hell did that guy get on dry land

Better bolt up both your baby's doors

She'll be dancing with him on all fours



He's a reptile back in town

He's a reptile hangin' 'round tonight, oh

He's a reptile whoa whoa whoa

He's a reptile watch him go, tonight



He's a reptile never dries

He's a reptile never cries

He's a reptile of this town

He's a reptile hangin' round tonight



He's a reptile on his own

With a bone tonight, ooh

He's a reptile never cries

He's a reptile never dies

He's a reptile doesn't care

He's a reptile he's never there, tonight



He's a reptile just for you

He's a reptile and it's true, tonight



He's a reptile watch him go

He's a reptile, how you stand it never show

He's a reptile whoa

He's a reptile whoa
