Texty: Jennings and Keller. As the Universe Unfolds. Gator Shine.

Maryanne?s on the phone

Says you?d better come along

We?re goin? down to the swamp

But not until after dark


To Gator shine, gonna gator shine tonight

The moon?s on the rise

Not a cloud in the sky

Their beady little eyes are gonna shine

Gator shine tonight


Maryanne picks you up

You hop into her pickup truck

You?re heading west straight outta town

As bug spray?s getting passed around


To Gator shine, in the steamy heat tonight

There?s a swamp etiquette

That you?d best not forget

Show them reptiles some respect

When you gator shine tonight


Don?t need no t.v., don?t need no mall

Don?t need no cell phone, no one to call

Don?t need no MySpace, or no ipod

Just get down to the Everglades and

Have yourself a ball


You lean over the rail

On the Anhinga Trail

Point your flashlight down

At the critters swimmin? round


When you gator shine in the Glades tonight

You?re hoping that it stays

Just like this all your days

And they never pave away you chance to

Gator shine tonight, gator shine tonight

With Maryanne tonight
