Lyrics
Chorus
Rip Van Winkle slept with one eye open
Way up in the mountain so high
He saw the spooners under the trees
Gay honeymooners learning to squeeze
Down the mountain he came every evening
To watch his wifey all alone, Oh!
He saw her dancing with a neighbor and then
Turned right around went up the mountain again
Say, Rip Van Winkle slept with one eye open
That’s why he never went home
Performance
