When you're too old for the swings |
|
You tend to choose the slide |
|
And they never seem to warn you |
|
The slide's your final ride |
|
And when you're at the top of it |
|
And you cannot see the end |
|
Either don't let go son - or grab the nearest friend |
|
The slide is no respecter of dignity or class |
|
As soon as you sit down on it |
|
That slide has got your ass |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
|
A broken soul at the bottom lies denied |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
When the slide was invented |
|
A thousand drinkers sighed |
|
On the very word the slide |
|
It's a picture of innocence |
|
On which the innocent have fried |
|
Take the helter skelter son |
|
It's easier than the slide |
|
Advice to listening parents |
|
Or the father of the bride |
|
Let them marry anyone |
|
But don't let her take the slide |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
|
A broken soul at the bottom lies denied |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
It'll take you much much lower |
|
Than you ever would have asked |
|
'cause as soon as you sit down on it |
|
The slide has got your ass - it's customers are fools |
|
And every one of them deceased |
|
The long and silver murderer |
|
The devil must have greased |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
|
A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
|
Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
|
A broken soul at the bottom it denied |
|
Don't take the slide, don't take the slide |
