Slinky Thing - Donald Fagen

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

There's a sun in my sky

That's my power supply

She stayed with me

I know heaven is right here on earth

There's a sun in my sky

That's my power supply

She stayed with me

I know heaven is right here on earth

There's a sun in my sky

That's my power supply

She stayed with me

I know heaven is right here on earth
