Never smile at a crocodile No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile Don't be taken in by his welcome grin He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin Never smile at a crocodile Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile You may very well be well bred Lots ot etiquette in your head But there's always some special case, time or place To forget etiquette For example: One must positively not ever wear a pleased expression on his countenance when confronted with that large lizard-like amphibious reptile who has long jaws, armoured skin and webbed feet and who is known as the crocodile. It has been discovered that one simply cannot cherish an amicably or trustworthy relationship with the aforementioned species. In addition: It is mandatory that one does not become irresistably drawn into the heironeous belief that the latteral open extension of his lips means you are entirely welcome. It is much more reasonably to assume he is contemplating how you would look in a lizard suit... His! Hehe. Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
