It was a October morning
Am7 E7+5
Near the carousel
Am7 E7-9
I met a light young beauty
Am7 E7+5
And we hooked up for a spell
Am7 E7-9
We walked up by the green lawn
Am7 E7+5
And my heart began to sing
Am7 E7-9
Mad man on a victory lap
Fm6
Hold onto that slinky thing

Hold onto that slinky thing
Am7 E7-9
Went to a party
Am7 E7+5
Everybody stood around
Am7 E7-9
Thinkin’ hey what she doing
Am7 E7+5
With a burned out hippie clown
Am7 E7-9
Young dudes were grinnin’
Am7 E7+5
I can’t say it didn’t stink
Am7 E7-9
Some punk says pops you better

Today we were strolling
Am7 E7+5
By the reptile cage
Am7 E7-9
I thinkin’ that she needs somebody
Am7 E7+5
Who’s closer to her own age
Am7 E7-9

Am7 E7-9
I’m just gonna do my best to
