Lyrics:
Hey, the roof is leakin’
And the rain’s fallin’ on my head
It won’t stop
The roof is leakin’
And the rain’s fallin’ 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 rollin’ 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 leakin’
Rain’s fallin’ 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

Heh, (drip-drip) Heh, (drippity drop)

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 leakin’
Rain’s fallin’ on my head (drip-drip)
Drippity drop (drip-drip)
Well, I cried so hard
Tears flowin’ on my bed (drip-drip)
On the floor (drippity drop)
On the rug, and on the wall yeah
