Slinky Thing

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

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 strolling

By the reptile cage

I'm thinkin', "Does she need somebody

Who's closer to her own age?"

Try not to worry

What tomorrow may bring

I'm just gonna do my best to

To 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 strolling

By the reptile cage

I'm thinkin', "Does she need somebody

Who's closer to her own age?"

Try not to worry

What tomorrow may 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

She smile

There's a sun in my sky

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

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

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
