It came from a rock and roll song of the 1950's written and recorded by Robert Guidry under his professional name Bobby Charles. The song was also a top 10 hit for Bill Haley and his Comets, recorded December 12, 1955
From Bill Haley & The Comets 1956 The saying was followed with: "In a while crocadile."
It's just a little rhyme..."See you later alligator" and "In a while crocodile".
in a while crocodile
See you later alligator. After awhile crocodile. You're getting on my nerves now youre cramping my style
"Later Alligator" is an expression in English. If you used the literal translation in Spanish (Más tarde alligator) people would be confused and think you were visiting an alligator at some later time. For an informal way to say "See you later" many Spaniards just say "luego" from the expression "Hasta luego" which means "See you later".
See ya later, alligator' is a friendly, casual farewell typically said in jest to a friend. It is often responded to with the matching 'After awhile, crocodile!'
