Song | Slinky Thing |
Artist | Donald Fagen |
Album | Sunken Condos |
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 |
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 | |

Hold onto that slinky thing | |
