Drip Drop

(album: Bronx Blues: The Columbia Recordings (1962-1965) - 1991)

Hey, the roof is leaking and the rain's falling on my head, it won't stop
The roof is leaking and the rain's falling on my head, I need a mop
I cried so hard, teardrops on my bed, drippity-drop (yes)

She packed up her bags and she moved out on the midnight train (drip drip) she's got no brain (drippity-drop)
She packed up her bag and she moved out on the midnight train, (drip drip) the girl's insane (drippity-drop)
She took my heart, tears rolling down my drain, (drip drip) just like rain (drippity-drop)

My buddy come to see me to give me a tip, tip, tip
I said “now listen here friend, I tell ya I'm hip, hip, hip”
“Why don't ya mind your own business, shut your lip, lip, lip”
“I know when my girl's gimme me the slip, slip, slip”

I said the roof is leaking, rain's falling on my head, (drip drip) oh yeah (drippity-drop)
I cried so hard, teardrops on my bed, on the floor (drippity-drop) that's what I said

Well, my buddy come to see me to give me a tip, tip, tip
I said “now listen here friend, I tell ya I'm hip, hip, hip”
“Why don't ya mind your own business, close your lip, lip, lip”
“I know when my girl's gimme me the slip, slip, slip”

I said the roof is leaking, rain's falling on my head (drip-drip) drippity drop (drip-drip)
Well, I cried so hard, tears flowing on my bed (drip-drip)
On the floor (drippity drop) on the rug, and on the wall yeah

[FADE] Yeah, yeah,
