Intro, G
Verse 1,
GGot a badge, a Red Rider at Rocket Camp out at Mohawk Peak
Lookin' for jailbirds left and right tryin'a knock 'em up out the trees
CEverybody I know's watchin' Clint, we all like watchin' Clint,
Hi Hi Hi GHiiiiii
CAll the lil snaps wanna be like Clint, they all wanna be like Clint
GBut I wanna be like Lee Van Cleef; ya know I wanna be like Lee
Whatever happened to Lee Van Cleef; whatever happened to Lee?
Verse 2,
GA yellow Studebaker with a 302, I see the Green Naugahyde
He put a coupla dings in that pickup truck, a few more dents in his pride
CAt Hilltop Drive-In they're watchin' Clint, they all like watchin' Clint
Hi Hi Hi GHiiiiii
CAll the babies scream they wanna see ol' Clint, they all wanna see ol' Clint
GBut I wanna see Lee Van Cleef, ya know I'd like to see ol' Lee
Whatever happened to Lee Van Cleef, whatever happened to Lee?
Verse 3,
GNow the Studebaker's gone, Lee's passed on, Clint's still sharp as can be
Hilltop Drive-In is an Auto Mall, but no one's built over Lee
CHe'll get a kick outta watchin' Clint, we all get a kick outta Clint
Hi Hi Hi GHiiiiii
CBut Lee never been none quite like Clint, there's really only one Clint
GBut I really did like Lee Van Cleef, I sure did really like Lee
Whatever happened to Lee Van Cleef, whatever happened to Lee?
[Instrumental Break]
Outro/Verse 4,
CWe still get a kick outta watchin' Clint, we all get a kick outta Clint
Hi Hi Hi GHiiiiii
CThere ain't never been one quite like Clint, there's really only one Clint
GI always did like Lee Van Cleef, always did like Lee
Nobody's steely like Lee Van Cleef, whatever happened to Lee?
Whatever happened to Lee Van Cleef? Don't forget about Lee.
