Discover the story of the song > Alligator – jank

The song is about a person (referred to as 'they') who is afraid of an alligator coming after them. They pay off the alligator but decide to give it a feast anyway. The song says that the alligator is not as scary as it seems, and compares it to the protagonist who also has problems and needs comfort sometimes. The chorus repeats that message, saying that the alligator is just a soft-hearted bean underneath its scary exterior.
