They Wanna Put Aligators In Our Apartments

My parents spent 20 years managing apartments. This is how I grew up. These are all true stories. This is a new song. It has me very excited!!!!

They wanna put aligators in our apartments
Big snakes to play with the kids in the backyard
Basketball players to beat us up
And just when you think that you've had enough
They break our legs and then run away
They chop down the trees then ask to stay
And just when you think that it can't get worse
YOU PACK THEIR BAGS AND YOU KICK THEM OUT!!!!

They fight and they scream and their voices seem
like samauri swords cut through paper walls
They shoot their guns down through the floor
once not enough so they shoot some more
They throw their cigarettes in the flowers
three days later it starts a fire
They track us down when we go to church
And it feels like they rule our universe

They wanna put aligators in our apartments
Big snakes to play with the kids in the backyard
Basketball players to beat us up
And just when you think that you've had enough
They break our legs and then run away
They chop down the trees then ask to stay
And just when you think that it can't get worse
YOU PACK THEIR BAGS AND YOU KICK THEM OUT!!!!

They like to get naked when they're alone
Then stand in the doorway when you get home.
They scream and convulse in the parking lots
And then they take up two parking spots
They ALL like to call us on Christmas day
The one day we want them to STAY AWAY
They wake us up at 3 am
Because somebody kicked their front door in
But you can't kick them out when they're selling drugs
Because they say they know karate and their daddy owns the place

The greatest Christmas we ever had is when we locked ourselves away
In a hotel in California in that city by the bay
Oh they couldn't find us if they wanted to NO WAY!
Oh they couldn't find us if they wanted to NO WAY!

They wanna put aligators in our apartments
Big snakes to play with the kids in the backyard
Basketball players to beat us up
And just when you think that you've had enough
They break our legs and then run away
They chop down the trees then ask to stay
And just when you think that it can't get worse
YOU PACK THEIR BAGS AND YOU KICK THEM OUT!!!!
