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 The slide has got your ass Don t take the slidedon 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 slidedon t take the slide When the slide was invented A thousand drinkers sighed They thought they had the copyright Of 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 slidedon 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 slidedon t take the slide It ll take 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 slidedon 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 slidedon t take the slide
