The Slide

G C Am G



G

When you're too old for the swings
C
You tend to choose the slide
Am
And they never seem to warn you
G
The slide's your final ride
G
And when you're at the top of it
C
And you cannot see the end
Am                         G
Either don't let go son or grab the 
nearest friend
G                           C
The slide is no respecter of dignity
 or class
Am
As soon as you sit down on it
G
That slide has got your ass

G                                 
Don't take the slide, don't take 
   C
the slide
(Slide, slide)
Am                                 
Heroes and villains have tried and 
G
cried
G                              
A broken soul at the bottom lies 
   C
denied
(Slide, slide)
               Am                  
Don't take the slide, don't take 
  G
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
(Ooh)
Or the father of the bride
Let them marry anyone
(Ooh)
But don't let her 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 lies 
denied
(Slide, slide)
Don't take the slide, don't take the
 slide
(Ooh)



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
(Ooh)
And every one of them deceased
The long and silver murderer
(Ooh)
The devil must have greased



(Aaa)
I'm on it
(Aaa)
You're on it
(Aaa aaa)
The slide, the slide



Don't take the slide, don't take the
 slide
(Slide, slide)
Heroes and villains have tried and 
cried
(Ooh )
A pile of broken souls at the bottom
 it denied
(Slide, slide)
Don't take the slide, don't take the
 slide
(Ooh)



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)
