[Intro]

(Drip, drip, drippity-drop

Drip, drip, drippity-drop)

[Verse 1]

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 bed (Drip, drip, drippity-drop)

[Verse 2]

Well, she packed up her clothes

And she moved out on the midnight train (Trip, trip, trippity-trop)

Well, she packed up her clothes

And she moved out on the midnight train (Trip, trip, trippity-trop)

You know, this empty room

Is driving me insane (Flip, flip, flippity-flop)

[Verse 3]

Well, I'm sittin' here drinkin'

Thinkin' what I'm gonna do (Sip, sip, sippity-sop)

Well, I'm sittin' here drinkin'

Thinkin' what I'm gonna do (Sip, sip, sippity-sop)

You know the roof is leakin'

And the rain is fallin' through (Drip, drip, drippity-drop)

[Instrumental Break—Saxophone Solo]

[Bridge]

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 a-hip, hip, hip"

I said, "Just mind your own affairs

And button your lip, lip, lip

I don't need you to tell me

She gave me the slip, slip, slip"

[Verse 4]

Because the roof is leakin'

And the rain's fallin' in my head (Drip, drip, drippity-drop)

I've cried so hard

Teardrops soiled my bed (Drip, drip, drippity-drop)

[Outro]

Whoa-oh (Drip, drip) Whoa, oh (Drippity-drop)

Whoa-oh (Drip, drip) Whoa-oh (Drippity-drop)

Whoa-oh (Drip, drip)
