Lyrics
GATOR BAIT
R. Mack Harrell
From Oxford, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee
Southern Style will grab a'hold a' you.
Kentucky's got the ponies and 'Bama's got the Tide
Folks there, they all bleed red, white and blue
Give me good old Gainesville,
It's the apple of my eye...
Leave me in The Swamp until I die...yeah
'Cause Florida's got the Gators
The football team's for real.
On the field, we'll make you our next meal.
Livin' in the Southland
Well it's totally first rate.
But if you ain't a Gator, son,
You're Gator bait.
Well, Georgians love the Bulldogs, Auburn loves the Plains
Louisiana likes their Tigers, too
Country folks from Arkansas are full of "sooey pig,"
On Rocky Top, they'll "Volunteer" on you, (yee ha!!!)
Just give me good old Gainesville
It's the apple of my eye
Leave me in The Swamp until I die....yeah
'Cause Florida's got the Gators
The football team's for real.
On the field we'll make you our next meal.
Livin' in the Southland
Well it's totally first rate.
But if you ain't a Gator, son...
What you gonna do when they're tellin' you
That the Buckeyes are so great?
What you gonna say when they lay that rap on you...?
Yeah... what you gonna do?
Say... Florida's got the Gators
The football team's for real.
On the field we'll make you our next meal.
Livin' in the Southland
Well it's totally first rate.
But if you ain't a Gator, son you're...
You're Gator bait...
Buckeyes!!!... you're Gator Bait
Florida State!!!...Gator Bait
Hurricanes... people, I can't wait...
You're Gator Bait.
