Lyrics

Seven thousand three hundred days
Is a long, long time to sleep
But Rip Van Winkle slept for twenty long years
Then he woke one day
Rip's red hair had turned to gray
Rip Van Winkle hurried back into town
But to his dismay
Rip's whole town had stopped to play
He found to his surprise
A thing called swing was king
And he liked it
It opened up his eyes
And Rip, Rip got hip
Rip Van Winkle's wrinkles faded away
And he shed his beer
Rip's hooray when he reappeared
Well, if you want to swing and jive
At the age of ninety-five
Start counting sheep and sleep like Rip Van Winkle
He found to his surprise
A thing called swing was king
And he liked it
It opened up his eyes
And Rip, Rip got hip
Hip, hip, Rip Van Winkle's wrinkles faded away
And he shed his beer
Rip's hooray when he reappeared
So if you want to swing and jive
At the age of ninety-five
Start counting sheep and sleep like Rip Van Winkle
Don't be a drip, get hip
Take a tip from Rip Van Winkle
