## Lyrics

**Stucky:** *All right, Ruff. You're up!*

**Ruff:**

Her hair is made of moss,

Her skin is laced with leaves!

**Stucky:**

That's right!

**Ruff:**

She has a magic in her soul!

**Stucky:**

Oh yeah, we've seen it!

**Ruff:**

She'll put you in a spell

With her breath of rotting trees,

I'm afraid it's you she can't let go!

**Stucky:**

You're in trouble now, kid.

**Ruff:**

'Cause when you leave her,

She gets oh, so angry

Her bayou is more than just her home

**Stucky:**

You know, Ruff? You're actually a pretty good singer!

**Ruff:**

She takes it poisonal

You left the party early!

If she can't keep you, alligator boy,

She'll crush your tiny bones!

**Stucky:** *(laughs)* *Yeah, I'd probably be a little worried right now if I were you.*

**Ruff:**

The Bog Lady's a real shapeshifter,

She could turn into anything!

So watch your back and listen in

She'll get inside your head

**Stucky:**

Yeah, she will!

**Ruff:**

And she'll leave you for dead!

And whatever you do, and I mean this --

Don't let her sing!

When ya leave her,

She gets so disgusted

**Stucky:**

I know what that's like. Honestly, I've been there before.

**Ruff:**

Her bayou is more than just her home

She takes it poisonal

**Stucky:**

Yeah, she does!

**Ruff:**

You can't leave this goil!

And if she can't keep you, well...

She'll crush your tiny alligator bones!

**Stucky:** *(laughs)* *I mean, she's probably gonna kill ya. But hey, you know, on the brighter side...*

**Ruff:** *Yup! Uh-huh!*

**Stucky:** *...You could just get outta here right now and go home!*

**Ruff:** *Heehee, yup!*

**Stucky:** *All right, see ya, alligator boy!*

**Ruff:** *That's the right idea!*

**Stucky:** *Bye-bye, babe!*

**Ruff:** *I'm movin' oooooon out! It's time to go, alligator boy!*

## Trivia

* A lot of the lyrics subtly foreshadow what's going to happen to Arlo once he encounters the Bog Lady.
	+ "I'm afraid it's you she can't let go" represents the Bog Lady's obsession with Arlo and her anger triggered when he left the swamp, and makes it her mission that he never leaves her again. It also hints at him being ensnared in her roots.
	+ "She'll put you in a spell with her breath of rotting trees" hints at Arlo being hypnotized by the Bog Lady into never leaving the swamp at the very end of her song.
	+ "When you leave her, she gets oh, so angry" and "She gets so disgusted" represents the Bog Lady's anger at Arlo leaving, as well as him trying to get away from her but to no avail. It also foreshadows her fury when Arlo rescues Edmée along with Bertie and Alia during the final battle.
	+ "The Bog Lady's a real shapeshifter, she could turn into anything" foreshadows the Bog Lady assuming a giantess form to take over Edmée's shack.
	+ "And whatever you do, and I mean this -- don't let her sing!" hints at the Bog Lady's song, which starts as soon as Arlo refuses an apology from her and is attacked by her while trying to save Edmée.
	+ The closing lines to the chorus, "If she can't keep you, she'll crush your tiny alligator bones!" foreshadows the Bog Lady turning down Arlo's apology in favor of eating he and his gang whole.
