Lyrics
Chunky River Gator Stomp
Going on down to the river bottom, gonna catch me a catfish tonight, going on down to the river bottom, gonna stretch me a line real tight,
well I got me some bait and I got me some brew, I'm going down where the raccoons romp,
I'm going down to the Chunky River Bottom going fishing where the gators stomp.
ch: the river's running low this time of year, the sandbar's gleaming white, ain't nothing much better than a cold root beer round a campfire, burning bright,
gonna roast me some good ol' weenee dogs, gonna sit back and eat a few,
gonna feed a marshmallow to a Chunky River Gator, and watch him dance a jig or two, yeah, watch him dance a jig or two.
Going on down to the river bottom, gonna take me a few of my friends, going on down to the river bottom, gonna stay there until the night ends,
we'll sing to the stars and slap them skeeters and play where the raccoons romp,
going on down to the Chunky River Bottom, gonna stomp where the gators stomp.
repeat chorus
