Madman drummers
bummers and Indians
in the summer with
a teenage diplomat
In the dumps
with the mumps
as the adolescent pumps
his way into his hat
With a boulder
on my shoulder
feelin' kinda older
I tripped the
merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
sneezing and wheezing
the calliope crashed
to the ground
Some all-hot half-shot
was headin' for
the hot spot
snappin' his fingers
clappin' his hands
And some
fleshpot mascot
was tied into
a lover's knot with
a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott
with a slingshot
finally found a tender spot
and throws his lover
in the sand
And some bloodshot
forget-me-not whispers
daddy's within earshot
save the buckshot
turn up the band
And she was blinded
by the light
Oh cut loose
like a deuce
another runner
in the night
blinded by the light
She got down
but she never got tight
but she'll make it alright
Some brimstone
baritone anti-cyclone
rolling stone
preacher from the East
He says "Dethrone
the dictaphone
hit it in the funny bone
that's where they
expect it least"
And some new-mown
chaperone was standin'
in the corner all alone
watchin' the
young girls dance
And some fresh-sown
moonstone was messin'
with his frozen zone
to remind him of the
feeling of romance
Yeah he was blinded
by the light
Oh cut loose
like a deuce
another runner
in the night
blinded by the light
He got down but
he never got tight
but he's gonna
make it tonight
Some silicone sister
with her
manager's mister
told me I got
what it takes
She said
I'll turn you on sonny
to something strong
if you'll play that song
with the funky break
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out
the weather chart
to see if it was safe
to go outside
And little Early-Pearly
came in by
her curly-wurly
and asked me if
I needed a ride
Oh some hazard from
Harvard was skunked
on beer playin'
backyard bombardier
Yes and Scotland Yard was
trying hard they sent some
dude with a calling card
he said do what you like
but don't do it here
So I jumped up
turned around
spit in the air
Fell on the ground
and asked him
which was the
way back home
He said take a right
at the light, keep goin'
straight until night
and then boys
you're on your own
And now in Zanzibar
a shootin' star was ridin'
in a side car hummin'
a lunar tune
Yes and the avatar said
blow the bar but first
remove the cookie jar
we're gonna teach them
boys to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped
handicap was complainin'
that he caught the clap
from some mousetrap
he bought last night
Well I unsnapped his
skull cap and between
his ears I saw a gap
but figured
he'd be alright
He was just
blinded by the light
Cut loose like a deuce
another runner
in the night
blinded by the light
Mama always told me
not to look into the
sights of the sun
Woh but mama
that's where the fun is
ooh yeah
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
I was blinded
