![]() The words are used because they rhyme and sound cool. The phrases have nothing to do with reptiles. ‘See You Later, Alligator’ is much like ‘after a while, crocodile’. Watch this cute video with a mash-up of lyrics from both versions: ![]() Save the below image on your device (attached). Here is a printable PDF file with two versions of lyrics for the See You Later, Alligator rhyme. See you later, Alligator, that’s all for now What’s more, there’s a famous rock and roll song by Bobby Charles with the same title. The title quickly became a catchphrase among mid-schoolers too. The lyrics are quirky, silly, and written to make little ones laugh and go home with a smile on their faces. See Your Later Alligator is a fun way for preschoolers to say goodbye to their friends at the end of school time. They do anything to delay leaving the place, even if they’ll be back the next day. I hate to say goodbye guys, but I’ve gotta run.Kids can say the strangest things when they wave goodbye to their friends. Maybe, that ‘Goodbye’ or ‘See you later’ is just a different door opening which will lead you to a ‘Hello’ and a big ‘ol ‘Howdy!’ Maybe the take away in all of this is that a ‘Goodbye’ or even a ‘See you later’ doesn’t have to mean the end of the world. Those difficult decisions are what help us grow, change, learn and move forward, becoming better people in the process. ![]() Severing ties from someone or something can be hard, but sometimes, it has to be done, whether it feels good at the moment or not (I thought saying goodbye to my job as a marketing assistant was the worst thing in the world at the time, but if that didn’t happen, I wouldn’t be in the process of finally going after what I truly wanted which was to go back and get my Master’s in Library Science). It is a chance for you to move on to bigger and better things, to try something new, to break out of your comfort zone and see what else is out there. When you do get those rare things that are easy to say goodbye to, it’s such a rush, a weight lifted off of your shoulders, a break in the clouds if you will. Now don’t get me wrong, some things I don’t even have to bat an eyelash at when it comes to saying goodbye to jelly shoes (Youch those things hurt!), colored Heinz ketchup (good idea in theory but it kinda sorta weirded me out when I looked at my hog dog and the bluish hue made it look like it had an expiration date ending in B.C.) and of course, one miss ED (She didn’t even deserve a goodbye, more like a swift kick in the bum all the way to Timbuctoo!) to name just a few. Nice, right? Don’t tell me you won’t be wishing your roommate a, “See you soon, you big baboon” tomorrow morning. Corny? Absolutely! But totally amazing? You bet your snake-skin boots they are! Trust me, after hearing some of these diddy’s, you will never want to say a simple ‘Bye’ or ‘See ya’ ever again! Some of these I am sure you have all heard before, but some are brand-spanking new. To make saying goodbye a little easier, I have come up with a fun list of new alternatives to use when parting ways. If you think of it in that way, it’s not so dire, so sad, so permanent. I like to think that they’re not so much ‘Goodbyes’ as they are ‘See you later’s’, hinting to a non-escapeable moment in the future that you will once again be reunited with that someone or something, no matter how much time or distance eludes you. It’s one thing to say adios to someone or something who you know you will see soon, but when it comes to saying goodbye to someone or something that you know you won’t, it’s oh so hard. Whether it was waving farewell to my mom in the mornings before I boarded the big yellow school bus before school, bear-hugging it out with my bestest friends before we all left for college, looking at my Thunder’s sad eyes through the window as I drive off to work everyday or even bidding adieu to a favorite TV show that would not be returning the following year (RIP Seinfeld…We will always have our DVD dates), saying goodbye sucks! I don’t know about you, but I have always had a hard time saying goodbye.
