The song itself is a little incoherent but its not all about the words anyways. I love during the little lalala la la bridge how you can hear bob usually going "burn down the fillamore gas the avalon" some upbeat menacing lsd drenched awesomeness. the jam that usually followed always had an awesome time signature and an even better conclusion with jerry picking out the expressions for the words in "we bid you goodnight" alligator is an excellent reflection of the scene and a real example of how individual this music was as well as being a fan favorite science its conception... thank you jerry garcia
This song is about a day the Dead spent tripping on the river... Pigpen , who only drank was laying mostly submerged in the water at a river bend , then jumping out to startle canoers as they rounded the bend... like an alligator.
