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
Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9
Hold onto that slinky thing
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
| Am7 E7-9 Am7| Am7 E7+5 |
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
Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9
Hold onto that slinky thing

C9 E7 E7-9+5
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
Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing
C9
Hold onto that slinky thing
