MALE SINGER: [SINGING]
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven.
Said the alligator king
to his seven sons, I'm
feeling mighty down.
Whichever of you can cheer me up
will get to wear my crown.
His first son brought seven
oyster pearls from the bottom
of the China Sea.
The second gave him seven
statues of girls with clocks
where their stomachs
should be.
The third son gave him seven
rubies from the sheikhdom of
down their beneath.
The king thought the rubies were
cherries, and he broke
off seven of his teeth.
The fourth son tried to cheer
him up with seven lemon drops.
The
King said, [SPEAKING]
I'm sorry son.
Since that ruby episode, I just
haven't got the chops.
[SINGING]
The fifth son brought the
king perfume in seven
fancy silver jars.
The king took a whiff and he
broke out in spots, 'cause it
smelled like cheap cigars.
The sixth son gave him seven
diamond rings to
wear upon his toes.
The king snagged his foot on the
royal red rug and crumpled
up his nose.
The seventh son of the
alligator king was a
thoughtful little whelp.
He said--
SEVENTH SON: [SPEAKING]
Daddy, appears to me that you
could use a little help.
MALE SINGER: [SINGING]
Said the alligator king
to his seventh son, my
son, you win the crown.
You didn't bring me diamonds or
rubies, but you helped me
up when I was down.
Take the crown.
It's yours, my son.
I hope you don't
mind the dents.
I got it on sale at
a discount store.
Cost me all of seven cents.
Seven.
