It was a October morning
Near the carousel
I met a light young beauty
And we hooked up for a spell
We walked up by the green lawn
And my heart began to sing
Mad man on a victory lap
Hold onto that slinky thing
Hold onto that slinky thing
..continue with figure:
Went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinkin hey what she doing
With a burned out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinnin
I cant say it didnt stink
Some punk says pops you better
Hold onto that slinky thing
Hold onto that slinky thing
More light, more light, more light, more light
More light, more light, more li - ight
More light, more light, more light, more light,
-9+5
More light, more li ight,
Continue with figure. . .
Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I thinkin that she needs somebody
Whos closer to her own age
Try not to worry
What tomorrow may bring
Im just gonna do my best to
Hold onto that slinky thing
Hold onto that slinky thing
