Biography:
Primus is a San Francisco-based band formed in the mid-1980s by two ex-members of thrash metal band Blind Illusion: Les Claypool and Larry LaLonde.

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
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.
