Alligator Family is a song from The One and Only You! and is the eighth Silly Song of The VeggieTales Show. It is sung by Bob and Larry.
After being attacked by an alligator in the previous sketch of the show, Bob gets the alligator in the crate and is about to take him to a zoo. However, Bob is interrupted by Larry who wants to keep the alligator and make it a part of his family.

Larry: Hey, Bob, have you seen the alligator from the first sketch? I've been looking everywhere for him!
Bob: Uh, yeah. Well....
I'm afraid your alligator has been put here in a crate for transportation to the zoo.
It's the best that we can do.
With a creature that atrociously attacked me so ferociously,
it's time to see ya later to this crazy alligator!
Larry: But Bob, I feel very close to the alligator! We have so much in common!
Bob: You do?
Larry: Sure! It's plainly seen that we're both green, and we're both a little bumpy!
We get a little grumpy when we think about Barbara Manatee!
Bob: Really?
Larry: I'm just guessing about that one.
We both have teeth, at least a tooth, and we agree that if we're loose,
we'll play with bugs and then give hugs to everyone we see!
Bob: Hugs?
Larry: I'm pretty sure about that one.
So can't you see that he and me are bound to be a cucumber and alligator family?
Bob: I've never heard of such a thing.
Larry: It's a new thing, like frenemies.
Bob: Right.
But Larry, here's the truth!
He is a hungry and a toothy little beasty!
If he's lose, he just might turn on you and start to chew in nothing flat!
Larry: He would never do that!
I don't wanna see ya later to my favorite alligator!
He's really like a brother from another bumpy mother!
So don't take my alligator on a truck or on a freighter!
Leave him here with me, so we can be a cucumber and alligator family!
Bob: You really wanna do this?
Larry: I really wanna do this!
Bob: (sighs) Okay, he's all yours.
Larry: Oh, this is fantastic, Bob! Probably the best day of my life!
(Larry takes the crate and hops offstage.)
Larry: (O.S.) It's you and me now, buddy. Let's just open up this crate and have a little hug. WOAH!!...Uh, Bob?
Bob: Yeah, Larry?
Larry: (O.S.) You can take him to the zoo.
Bob: You changed your mind?
Larry: (O.S.) Yeah, I changed my mind.
Bob: Do you need a bandage?
Larry: (O.S.) Yeah, Bob.
Bob: That's why you never see a cucumber and alligator family!
