Slinky Thing Lyrics

It was an October morning
Near the carousel
I met a lithe young beauty
And we talked there for a spell
We walked up by the Great Lawn
And my heart began to sing
A madman on a bench screams out"
Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing

We went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinkin': Hey what's she doin'
With a burned-out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinnin'
I can't say it didn't sting
Some punk says: Pops you better
Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing
More light - more light- more light - more light
More light - more light
More light - more light- more light - more light
More light - more light

Today we were strollin'
By the reptile cage
I'm thinkin': Does she need somebody
Whos's closer to her own age
I try not to worry
What tomorrow will bring
I'm just gonna do my best to
Hold on to that slinky thing
Hold on to that slinky thing
She smile (There's a sun in my sky)

She laugh (That's my power supply)

She stay with me (I know heaven is right here on earth)

She go (I cry)
