Oct 31, 2009 - It's the same singer, and probably the same animating team, though I can't confirm it. By the way, the same singer played himself in a School House Rock parody on Johnny Bravo. ;)

Nov 10, 2009 - A stone-cold CLASSIC! This and the Number Song (with the baker falling down the stairs with his pastries at the end) were probably my favorite parts of Sesame Street! Great post!

EpicKandy Says:

Nov 10, 2009 - Amazing how I can appreciate something even more after I grow up. I saw this a long time ago but I didn't get it. Now I laughed at the end when the King told his son where he got the crown.

Tsubahi Says:

Nov 15, 2009 - That was made the year I was BORN!:) Brings back memories, too!

astridkitty1212 Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - That's so unfair when the Gator King loses his teeth when he thinks the rubies are cherries. Since he's the King and has lots of money, he should have the royal dentist make him the best-quality dentures. Large sharp teeth are an alligator's pride.

EricSmiles Says:

Nov 16, 2009 - I don't know why, but I really love Alligator King. It's one of those songs from when I was a kid that just sort of stuck with me. Kudos to everyone who enjoys this as well. We rock! (=^_^=)

AzzaUAE Says:

Classic Sesame Street tune from 1971, written/animated by Pixar's Bud Luckey (also on the banjo, what a talent!), lyrics by Don Hadley, sung by Turk Murphy (of the Turk Murphy Jazz Band) who also sang "Penny Candy Man". Much thanks to bob94109 for his help. From my site, The Sesame Street Lyrics Archive, enjoy! http://www.tinyd.net/sesame1.html The broadcast of this video is authorized by Sesame Workshop. Thank you so much! Lyrics: One two three four five six seven! Said the Alligator King to his seven sons, "I'm feelin' 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 sheikdom Down There 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, "I'm sorry son, Since that ruby episode, I just haven't got the chops." 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, "Daddy, appears to me That you could use a little help." 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!
