Standard (EADGBE)

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

'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 past his shoulder and it rolled into the swamp

When 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 gnawed 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 on a slope, and into the swamp he rolled

They dragged out his head but there was nothing left below

'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!

Passing the time by ending children's lives

Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!
