The Slide |
| 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 |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
| A broken soul at the bottom lies denied |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Don’t take the slide, don’t take the slide |
| When the slide was invented |
| A thousand drinkers sighed |
| They thought they had the copyright |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| (Aaah) I’m on it |
| (Aaah) You’re on it |
| (Aaah) |
| (Aaah) The slide, the slide |
| Don’t take the slide, don’t take the slide |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
| A pile of broken souls at the bottom it denied |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Don’t take the slide, don’t take the slide |
| Don’t take the slide, don’t take the slide |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Heroes and villains have tried and cried |
| (Ooh) |
| A broken soul at the bottom it denied |
| (Slide, slide) |
| Don’t take the slide, don’t take the slide |
| (Ooh) |
