Unknown Artist — Why Don’t You Take Me Along? How Do You Do?

[Verse 1] I'm looking for a ride along the water Take me along, I really think you ought'er The sun's shining down, it's only gettin' hotter Why don't you take me along? I've had enough of this tiny old swamp! I've got to find a new pond to stomp! I'll come along, say hello to me Riding right behind you is where I'll be! [Verse 2] Take me along, nothin' could be greater I'll find a way, sooner or later You better make room for this Alligator You might as well take me along! A happier place is where I'm bound I'll find a way; I'll see you around A friendly lookin' face is what I'm looking for So just slow down and I'll hop on board! [Stretch] I'm gonna find another way to get there You might as well take me along! Why don't you take me along? [Verse 3] I'm looking for someone to show the way there I'm heading for; I only wish I knew where I'm gonna find another way to get there Why don't you take me along? You might as well take me along! You've got some room so save me a seat I'll sit with your friends but I won't overeat! Take me along an' leave it to me Wherever you take me is where I'll be! [Stretch 2] Why don't you take me along? You might as well take me along! [Outro] I wanna be a laughin' Alligator! I wanna be a smilin' Crocodile! I wanna be a friend to all the critters You might as well take me along How could you ever go wrong? So why don't you take me along?
