Lyric discussion by elreysencillo 

Cover art for Alligator lyrics by Paul McCartney

Linda was the love of Mr. McCartney's life. McCartney was (is?) quite the pothead. An alligator clip used to be a popular way to hold a burning joint. Paul is lamenting the loss of his true love, a true communicator to whom he could give his alligator, Linda. Everyone else seems to have that love, Mr. McCartney is angry he does not. An excellent rock song written by a man in his 70's, a rare feat.
