Lyrics

Drip, drip, drippity drop
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Well, the roof is leaking
And the rain's falling on my head
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Well, the roof is leaking
And the rain's falling on my head
Drip, drip, drippity drop
I cried so hard teardrops soiled my face
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Well, she packed up her clothes
And she moved out on the midnight train
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Well, she packed up her clothes
And she moved out on the midnight train
Drip, drip, drippity drop
You know, this empty room
Is driving me insane
Flip, flip, flippity flop
Well, I'm sitting here drinking
Thinking what I'm gonna do
Sip, sip, sippity sop
Well, I'm sitting here drinking
Thinking what I'm gonna do
Sip, sip, sippity sop
You know the roof is leaking
And the rain is falling through
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Well, I ran into my buddy
He gave me a tip, tip, tip
He said, "Your woman's gone and left"
I said, "I'm hip, hip, hip"
I said, "Just mind your own affairs
And bite your lip, lip, lip
I don't need you to tell me
She gave me the slip, slip, slip"
Because the roof is leaking
And the rain's falling in my head
Drip, drip, drippity drop
I cried so hard
Teardrops soiled my face
Drip, drip drippity drop
Whoa, oh
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Whoa, oh
Drip, drip, drippity drop
Whoa, oh
Drip, drip
