Rock-a-Bye Gator

[Gabby has caught Woody by the tail feathers with his teeth]

Gabby Gator:
Now I gotcha for sure!

Woody Woodpecker:
[singing] Rock-a-bye baby, in the tree top...

Gabby Gator:
[covering his ears] I ain't gonna listen!

[Woody takes out a pair of semaphore flags and begins signing]

Gabby Gator:
Hm? What's that?

Woody Woodpecker:
"Rock-a-bye baby" in semaphore.

Gabby Gator:
I've been tricked! [falls asleep]

[first lines]

Narrator:
Deep in the heart of the steaming Everglades lurks the ferocious alligator. But it is a little known fact that in certain months of the year, the alligator lies in a dormant state. Like bears, he hibernates. During this period of hibernation, while the alligator is sleeping, our little feathered friends can nest in perfect safety. So this otherwise dangerous and deadly terrain is converted into a peaceful bird sanctuary.

Woody Woodpecker:
A peaceful bird sanctuary? Just what I'm looking for!

[last lines]

Narrator:
The hibernating season is over, and once again, the ferocious alligator awakens, well-rested and half-starved with hunger. But how about our friend Gabby?

[Gabby is lying exhausted on a nearby log]

Gabby Gator:
Not me, man. I'm beat.

Woody Woodpecker:
Beat? Did I hear someone say "beat"?

[Woody begins loudly banging away on a drum kit]

Gabby Gator:
Oh, no... not that.

[Woody continues to bash on the drums, laughing]
