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)
