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
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 Explain Request ×
