Lyrics

[Intro]
Wow-wee, ha, ha, ha, ha! A strike
[Refrain]
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom, boom
[Chorus]
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
[Refrain]
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom, boom
[Verse 1]
He fell asleep in the woods one day
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Spent twenty years of his life that way
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
[Verse 2]
That nagging wife kept all of his coin
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
None of his friends did he ever join
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
[Verse 3]
Those little elves bowled on the green
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
He would dream, dream, dream
Dream, dream, dream
[Bridge]
Oh well, he left his nagging wife now
He slept for twenty years
Didn't bother to wake up
He grew a long white beard
This is how the story goes
Listen my children and you will hear
[Verse 4]
He fell asleep in the woods one day
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Spent twenty years of his life that way
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep
[Verse 5]
That nagging wife kept all of his coin
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
None of his friends did he ever join
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Doo, doo-doo, da-doo-da-doo
[Refrain]
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom, boom
[Bridge]
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Slept his life away
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Slept his life away
[Refrain]
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom
Boom-boom, boom-boom-boom-boom, boom, boom, boom
[Outro]
Wee!
