Slip Away Lyrics

Oogie waits for just another day 

 Drags his bones

 to see the Yankees play 

 Bones Boy talks and flickers gray

 Oh, they slip away 

 

 Once a time 

 they nearly might have been

 Bones and Oogie on a silver screen 

 No one knew what they could do 

 Except for me and you

 They slip away 

 They slip away 

 

 Don't forget 

 to keep your head warm 

 Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd 

 Watching all the world 

 and war torn 

 How I wonder where you are 

 Oo-o

 Sailing over

 Coney Island 

 Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd 

 We were dumb 

 but you were fun, boy 

 How I wonder where you are 

 Oo-o

 

 Oogie knew there's never ever time

 Some of us will always stay behind

 Down in space it's always 1982 

 The joke we always knew 

 Oo-oo 

 What'sa matter with you

 C'mon, let's go

 Slip away 

 Oo-o

 

 Don't forget

 to keep your head warm

 Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd 

 Watching all the world 

 and war torn 

 How I wonder where you are

 Oo-o

 Sailing over 

 Coney Island

 Twinkle twinkle Uncle Floyd

 We were dumb

 but you were fun, boy

 How I wonder where you are 

 Oo-o

 Sailing
