What the hell is "Schlappi Das Kleine Drogodil" about? I hear it everywhere. Something about a crocodile with a prescription drug habit?

No drug habbit, just a crocodile on the nile.

Schnappi
The small crocodile

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile.
Come from Egypt, is located directly at the Nile.
First I lay in an egg,
then, schna, snatched myself I schni freely

[ Refrain ]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile,
have sharp teeth, and of it completely beautifully much.
I snatch yourself which I snatch can,
I snatch too, because I can so well.

[ Refrain ]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile,
I snatch gladly, that am my favourite play.
I creep to the mummy ran,
and show it as I to snatch can

[ Refrain ]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch

I am Schnappi, the small crocodile,
and of snatching, there war I not too much.
I bite the Papi briefly in the leg,
and then, then sleep I simply.

[ Outro ]
Schni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi snatch (snatch!)
Schni Schna Schnappi (!)
Schnappi Schnappi snatch (snatch!)
Schni Schna Schnappi (mhmm!)
Schnappi Schnappi snatch (!)

Schlappi appears to be a drug ("Drog") related parody of the more famous Schnappi.

Ah. They played "Schnappi" at my niece's primary school fete. "Schlappi" is a parody I seem to have inadvertenty stumbled upon while googling for misheard German lyrics. Alles ist klar - danke!

"Schlappi das kleine Drogodil" is a parody of the original "Schnappi" song.

Here's my translation of the "Schlappi" lyrics:

I am Schlappi, the little Drogodil (Drug Dealer)
And those are cops, naturally in civilian clothes
First, I am still completely high
Then the two snap (arrest) me! Schlappi
Schli-schla-schlappi - Schlappi goes to jail
Schli-schla-schlappi - There it will come out that...

I am Schlappi, the little Drogodil (Drug Dealer)
I wanted cocaine, unfortunately it was small Persil (washing detergent brand)
First the porridge (or mush) came out of my mouth
Then schni-schna-it chatted (crackled / bubbled?) coolly! Drogodil
Schli-schla-schlappi - in a short order I was a wreck
Schli-schla-schlappi - Schlappi nippled off... (chorus)

I am Schlappi, the little Drogodil
The last trip was then much too much (chorus)
Then I went past hell
because there there are no free places available! (Note: all the other drug animals are there.)
Schli-schla-schlappi - The room in hell was gone.
Schli-schla-schlappi - Comes here from the grave.

Schnappi lives in Egypt, but I'd wager Schlappi, the dealer, launders his loot in the Caiman Islands.
