Lyrics
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
Went to a party
Everybody stood around
Thinkin' hey what she doing
With a burned out hippie clown
Young dudes were grinnin'
I can't say it didn't 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 light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more light
Today we were strolling
By the reptile cage
I thinkin' that she needs 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 onto that slinky thing
Hold onto 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 thinkin' that she needs 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 onto that slinky thing
Hold onto that slinky thing
There's a sun in my sky
That's my power supply
She stayed with me
I know heaven is right here on earth
