Continue figure throughout verses. . .
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
Fm6Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9C9
Hold onto that slinky thing
..continue with figure:
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
Fm6Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9C9

More light, more li ight,
Continue with figure. . .
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
Fm6Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9C9
Hold onto that slinky thing
