(*spoken* Hi kids! Welcome to The Uncle Bobo Show! Are you ready to sing? Come on, let's go! )
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 he 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 take Bill
Where he would not get killed
But he left him on a slope
And into a swamp he rolled
They dragged out his head
But there was nothing down 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
(Down in the swamp..)
