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 [Fm6]onto that slinky thing
Hold [C9]onto that slinky thing
..continue with figure:
Went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinkinâ?? hey what she doing
With a burned out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinninâ??
I canâ??t say it didnâ??t stink
Some punk says pops you better
Hold o[Fm6]nto that slinky thing
Hold [C9]onto that slinky thing
[Em7] More light, more light, more light, more light
More light, more light, more [G/C]li - i[Cm6]ght
[Bbm7] More light, more light, more light, more light,
More light, more [C9]li ight, [E7] [E7-9+5]

Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I thinkinâ?? that she needs somebody
Whoâ??s closer to her own age
Try not to worry
What tomorrow may bring
Iâ??m just gonna do my best to
Hold [Fm6]onto that slinky thing
Hold [C9]onto that slinky thing
