Slip Away Lyrics

[Chorus]
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
Sailing over Coney Island
Twinkle twinkle, Uncle Floyd
We were dumb, but you were fun, boy
How I wonder where you are

[Outro]
Sailing

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
