See you later alligator, in a while crocodile,

See you soon baboon, take care teddybear,

Bye bye bye (echo), Say goodbye (echo),

Don’t meander salamander, I love you cockatoo,

Bye bye bye, Bye bye bye.

Gotta fly cherry pie, gotta shake rattlesnake,

Gotta run bubblegum, gotta go spaghettio,

Bye bye bye (echo), say goodbye (echo),

Thanks for the laugh giraffe, goodbye butterfly,

Bye bye bye, Bye bye bye.
