Verse 1
Ab
Madman drummers bummers
Db/Ab
and Indians in the summer
Eb7
Ab
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
Db/Ab
As the adolescent pumps
Eb7
Ab
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
Db/Ab
feelin' kinda older
Eb7
Ab
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
Db/Ab
sneezing and wheezing
Eb7
Ab
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
Ab
Some all-hot half-shot
Db
was headin' for the hot spot
Ab
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
Db
was tied into a lover's knot
Ab
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
Db
Finally found a tender spot
Ab
and throws his lover in the sand
Db
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
Ab
turn up the band
Chorus 1
Db
Eb
Ab
And she was blinded by the light
Db
Eb
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Ab
another runner in the night

She got down but she never got tight

But she'll make it alright

Verse 3
Ab
Db
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
Ab
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
Db
Hit it in its funny bone,
Ab
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
Db
standin' in the corner all alone
Ab
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
Db
was messin' with his frozen zone
Ab
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Chorus 2
Db
Eb
Ab
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Db
Eb
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Ab
another runner in the night

Bridge 1
Eb
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
Db
Ab
Told me I got what it takes
Eb
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
Db
To something strong if you'll play that song
Ab
with the funky break
Eb
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
Db
Ab
To see if it was safe to go outside
Eb
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
Db
Ab
And asked me if I needed a ride
Ebsus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
Ab
from Harvard
Db
was skunked on beer
Ab
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
Db
They sent some dude with a calling card
Ab
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
Db
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
Ab
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
Db
Keep goin' straight until night
Ab
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
Ab
And now in Zanzibar
Db
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
Ab
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
Db
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
Ab
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
Db
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
Ab
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
Db
and between his ears
Ab
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
Db
Eb
Ab
He was just blinded by the light
Db
Eb
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Ab
another runner in the night
Db
Eb
Bbm
Fm
Blinded by the light
Eb
Mama always told me not to look
Db
into the sights of the sun
Ab
Db
Ab
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
