| 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 | |

| 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 | |
