"Rip Van Winkle" lyrics - THE DEVOTIONS

(Rolling ball, pins falling)
Wow-wee, ha, ha, ha, haaaaa, a strike

Boom-boom-boom, boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom, boom-a-boom-boom, boom

Rip Van Winkle, Rip van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep, ha, ha, ha, haaaaa
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom, boom

He fell asleep in the woods one day
Spent twenty years of his life that way

Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom, boom

Rip Van Winkle, Rip van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep

That nagging wife kept all of his coin
None of his friends did he ever join

While those little elf's bowled on the green
He would dream, dream, dream

Oh well, he left his nagging wife now
He slept for 20 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

He fell asleep in the woods one day
Spent twenty years of his life that way
That nagging wife kept all of his coin
None of his friends did he ever join
Rip Van Winkle, Rip van Winkle
Doo, doo, doo, doo, da-doo

Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom, boom

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

Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom-boom boom-a-boom-boom, boom

Those little elf bowled on the green
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz [snoring]
(Rolling ball, pins falling, "wow-wee!")
