Rip Van Winkle(Otherwise Known As Me)


Someone close to me, who doesn't fully understand the strides I've made in recent years to get my life together, finally, decided to rip into me for being lazy all these years and compared me to Rip Van Winkle. For those who don't understand who or what is Rip Van Winkle, here a popular golden oldie, all about me......I mean Rip. recorded by the 60s group, the Devotions:

Intro: Sound of rolling ball and falling pins
"Wow-wee a strike!"

Background: Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom
Boom-boom, boom boom-a-boom-boom
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep
haa, haa, haa, haa, haa
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle
Sleep, sleep, sleep

He falls asleep in the woods one day
Spent twenty years of his life that way
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
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle, Sleep, sleep, sleep
Those little elves bowled on the green
He would dream, dream

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

He fell asleep in the woods one day
Spent twenty years of his life that way
hee, hee, hee, hee, hee
Sleep, sleep, sleep
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
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle. sleep, sleep, sleep
Rip Van Winkle, Rip Van Winkle slept his life away

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz(snoring)
rolling ball, pins falling, "wow-wee!"

But, I'm awake now!!!!!!!!!!
