Jim gives us alligator, crocodile, lizard, snake, turtle as prompts. First thought was Elton John singing “Crocodile Rock” and I almost immediately thought of Jim Morrison with his moniker of “Lizard King”. Ultimately I went with ELO’s “Don’t Bring Me Down” Songwriter: Jeff Lynne. More at the wiki
You got me runnin’, goin’ out of my mind
You got me thinkin’ that I’m wastin’ my time
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I’m tellin’ you, it’s got to be the end
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down
What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
You’re always talkin’ ’bout your crazy nights
One of these days, you’re gonna get it right
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down, groos
Don’t bring me down
You’re lookin’ good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days, you’re gonna break your glass
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
You got me shakin’, got me runnin’ away
You got me crawlin’ up to you everyday
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down, down, down, down, down, down
I’ll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don’t bring me down
