rippy the gator

Billy and his family went on a holiday
they went down to florida, to laugh and dance and play
Bill went in for a swim, he didn't see the harm
but when he came back out again, he was short an arm

everybody sing...

'cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
passing the time by ending children's lives
down in the bottom of the swamp swamp swamp

Billy and his father went out to play some catch
but Billy missed the pass because his arm was unattached
the ball flew passed his shoulder and it rolled into the swamp
he went wading after it, his leg became a stump.

'cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
passing the time by ending children's lives
down in the bottom of the swamp swamp swamp

Billy and his father joined a three legged race
they were tearing up the field, no one could keep the pace
but Billy tripped and did a flip and landed in the muck
he was running out of limbs and also out of luck

'cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
passing the time by ending children's lives
down in the bottom of the swamp swamp swamp

Billy was all dirty, he really had to wash
but he couldn't use a towel cause his limbs had been knawed off
he went into the water to get all clean and bright
but when his bath was finished he was only half his height

'cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
passing the time by ending children's lives
down in the bottom of the swamp swamp swamp

Billy's father rolled his wheelchair up upon a hill
he wanted to put Bill where he would not get killed
but he left him the slope and into the swamp he rolled
they dragged out his head but there was nothing left below
