Billy and his family went on a holiday
They went down to florida to lagh and dance and play
Billy went in for a swim he didn't see the harm
But when he came out again he was short an arm

Chorus
Cause Rippy the gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Rippy the gator went chomp, chomp, chomp
Passing the time by ending childrens lives
Down in the bottom of the swamp, swamp, swamp

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

Chorus

Billy and his father joined a three-legged race
They were tearring up the field no one could keep the pace
But Billy slipped and did a flip and landed in the muck
He was runnning out of limbs and also out of luck

Chorus

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

Chorus

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 his head but there was nothing left below

Chorus

Passing the time by ending childrens liiives
Down in the bottom of the swamp (down in the swamp)
