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


     Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing


     C9
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

      Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing


     C9
Hold onto that slinky thing

      More light, more light, more light, more light

                             G/C   Cm6
More light, more light, more li - ight 


Bbm7                                             
      More light, more light, more light, more light,


                 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
