Donald Fagen - Slinky Thing lyrics

rate me

It was a October morningNear the carouselI met a light young beautyAnd we hooked up for a spellWe walked up by the green lawnAnd my heart began to singMad man on a victory lapHold onto that slinky thingHold onto that slinky thingWent to a partyEverybody stood aroundThinkin hey what she doingWith a burned out hippie clownYoung dudes were grinninI cant say it didnt stinkSome punk says pops you betterHold onto that slinky thingHold onto that slinky thingMore light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more lightMore light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more lightToday we were strolling By the reptile cageI thinkin that she needs somebodyWhos closer to her own ageTry not to worryWhat tomorrow may bringIm just gonna do my best toHold onto that slinky thingHold onto that slinky thingMore light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more lightMore light, more light, more light, more light, more light, more lightToday we were strolling By the reptile cageI thinkin that she needs somebodyWhos closer to her own ageTry not to worryWhat tomorrow may bringIm just gonna do my best toHold onto that slinky thingHold onto that slinky thingTheres a sun in my skyThats my power supplyShe stayed with meI know heaven is right here on earth
