Great song!
With my friends (not children), we play it this way:
We sing ‘high’ with a high-pitched note, ‘low’ with a low one.
On ‘high’, ‘low’, ‘up’ and ‘down’ the drummers plays sixteenth notes.
‘alligator up’ is sung moving up the scale, ‘alligator down’ likewise.
The last verse we changed to ”SOMEtimes he’s ON the farm, SOMEtimes he’s GONE off to TOWN’, with the sixteenth notes grouped by three, ending on the fourth beat.
