Billy and his family went on a holiday 
                             E5
They went down to Florida to laugh and dance and play 
A5                           E5
Bill went in for a swim , he didn't see the harm 
    B5                            E5
But when he came back out again, he was short an arm
        E5                    B5
 'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
                     E5
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
A5                   E5
Passing the time by ending children's lives
B5                         E5
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp!
E5                         B5 
Billy and his father went out to play some catch
                                      E5 
But Billy missed the pass because his arm was unattached 
    A5                                  E5
The ball flew past his shoulder and it rolled into the swamp 
     B5                           E5
When he went wading after it his leg became a stump 
                            B5
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
                     E5
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
A5                   E5
Passing the time by ending children's lives 
B5                         E5
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp! 
E5                             B5
Billy and his father joined a three-legged race 
                                E5
They were tearing up the field, no one could keep the pace 
    A5                                E5
But Billy tripped and did a flip and landed in the muck 
B5                               A5
He was running out of limbs and also out of luck
                            B5
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
                     E5
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
A5                   E5
Passing the time by ending children's lives 
B5                         E5
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp! 
E5                       B5 
Billy was all dirty, he really had to wash 
                                       E5
But he couldn't use a towel 'cause his limbs had been gnawed off 
A5                         E5
He went into the water to get all clean and bright 
    B5                                 E5
But when his bath was finished he was only half his height
                            B5
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
                     E5
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
A5                   E5
Passing the time by ending children's lives 
B5                         E5
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp! 
        E5                            B5
Billy's father rolled his wheelchair up upon a hill 
                            E5
He wanted to put Bill where he would not get killed
       A5                        E5
But he left him on a slope, and into the swamp he rolled 
     B5                                  E5
They dragged out his head but there was nothing left below 
                            B5
'Cause Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp!
                     E5
Rippy the Gator went chomp, chomp, chomp! 
A5                   E5
Passing the time by ending children's lives

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