Billy and his family went on a holiday 

They went down to florida to laugh 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 past 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 tearing 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)
