Alligator Purse Lyrics
Chely Wright
(kenya slaughter walker/nick pellegrino)
I called him for days, he didnt answer the phone
I drove by his house, I knew he was home
A weeks 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...
Dont call the doctor, dont 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 reptiles hide
I asked her point-blank, is my friend going to die
And she said...
Im not a doctor, Im not a nurse
Im 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 didnt take my advice
And romeo, juliet, they didnt 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, theres no secret, its love that I use
I just carry this bag because it matches my shoes
And she said...
Dont call the doctor, dont call the nurse
Dont 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
