Decoding Nature's Riddles: Alligator, Crocodile, and the Art of Confusion
Lyrics
I saw a crocodile,
The speaker visually witnessed a crocodile.
I saw an alligator.
The speaker saw an alligator.
I saw a crocodile,
Reiteration of witnessing a crocodile.
I saw an alligator.
Another sighting of an alligator.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Pondering the distinction between alligators and crocodiles.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Repeating the contemplation of the difference between the two species.
I saw an elephant,
Observation of an elephant.
An African or an Indian one,
The speaker specifies whether the observed elephant is African or Indian.
I saw an elephant,
Reiteration of seeing an elephant.
I could not tell the difference,
Difficulty in discerning between African and Indian elephants.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Reflecting on the distinction between alligators and crocodiles.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Repeating the contemplation of the difference between the two species.
I drew a picture of a crocodile and showed it to the class,
The speaker drew a crocodile and shared it with the class.
They said it looked just like an alligator and all started to laugh,
The class compared the drawing to an alligator and found them similar, leading to laughter.
Oh god, what have I done?
The speaker regrets the confusion caused.
I cannot for the life of me tell the difference.
The speaker expresses an inability to differentiate between the two species.
Tell the difference,
Emphatic plea or frustration to be able to tell the difference.
Tell the difference,
-Tell the difference,
-Tell the difference!
-I saw a crocodile,
Observation of a crocodile.
I saw an alligator.
Sighting of an alligator.
I saw a crocodile,
Reiteration of seeing a crocodile.
I saw an alligator, baby!
Another sighting of an alligator, expressing excitement or emphasis.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Reflecting again on the distinction between alligators and crocodiles.
Alligator. Crocodile. What is the difference?
Repeating the contemplation of the difference between the two species.
