Lee Van Cleef

Intro, G


Verse 1,

G
Got 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
C
Everybody I know's watchin' Clint, 
we all like watchin' Clint,
         G
Hi Hi Hi Hiiiiii

C
All the lil snaps wanna be like 
Clint, they all wanna be like Clint
G
But 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,

G
A 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
C
At Hilltop Drive-In they're watchin'
 Clint, they all like watchin' Clint
         G
Hi Hi Hi Hiiiiii

Continues after the ad
Remove ads
C
All the babies scream they wanna see
 ol' Clint, they all wanna see ol' 
Clint
G
But 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,

G
Now 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
C
He'll get a kick outta watchin' 
Clint, we all get a kick outta Clint
         G
Hi Hi Hi Hiiiiii

C
But Lee never been none quite like 
Clint, there's really only one Clint
G
But 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,

C
We still get a kick outta watchin' 
Clint, we all get a kick outta Clint
         G
Hi Hi Hi Hiiiiii
C
There ain't never been one quite 
like Clint, there's really only one 
Clint
G
I 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.
