Verse 1
Bb
Madman drummers bummers
Eb/Bb
and Indians in the summer
F7
Bb
With a teenage diplomat
In the dumps with the mumps
Eb/Bb
As the adolescent pumps
F7
Bb
his way into his hat
With a boulder on my shoulder,
Eb/Bb
feelin' kinda older
F7
Bb
I tripped the merry-go-round
With this very unpleasing
Eb/Bb
sneezing and wheezing
F7
Bb
The calliope crashed to the ground
Verse 2
Bb
Some all-hot half-shot
Eb
was headin' for the hot spot
Bb
Snappin' his fingers, clappin' his hands
And some fleshpot mascot
Eb
was tied into a lover's knot
Bb
With a whatnot in her hand
And now young Scott with a slingshot
Eb
Finally found a tender spot
Bb
and throws his lover in the sand
Eb
And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers
Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot,
Bb
turn up the band
Chorus 1
Eb
F
Bb
And she was blinded by the light
Eb
F
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Bb
another runner in the night
Eb
F

Gm
Blinded by the light
F
She got down but she never got tight
Eb
Bb
But she'll make it alright
Eb
Gm
Verse 3
Bb
Eb
Some brimstone baritone anti-cyclone
Bb
Rolling stone preacher from the East
He says, dethrone the dictaphone
Eb
Hit it in its funny bone,
Bb
that's where they expect it least
And some new-mown chaperone was
Eb
standin' in the corner all alone
Bb
Watchin' the young girls dance
And some fresh-sown moonstone
Eb
was messin' with his frozen zone
Bb
To remind him of the feeling of romance
Chorus 2
Eb
F
Bb
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
Eb
F
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Bb
another runner in the night

He got down but she never got tight

But he's gonna make it tonight

Bridge 1
F
Some silicone sister
with her manager's mister
Eb
Bb
Told me I got what it takes
F
She said, I'll turn you on, sonny
Eb
To something strong if you'll play that song
Bb
with the funky break
F
And Go-Cart Mozart
was checkin' out the weather chart
Eb
Bb
To see if it was safe to go outside
F
And little Early-Pearly
came by in her curly- whirly
Eb
Bb
And asked me if I needed a ride
Fsus4
Oh, some hazard
Verse 4
Bb
from Harvard
Eb
was skunked on beer
Bb
Playin' backyard bombardier
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard
Eb
They sent some dude with a calling card
Bb
He said, do what you like, but don't do it here
Well, I jumped up, turned around,
Eb
spit in the air
Fell on the ground and asked him
Bb
which was the way back home
He said, take a right at the light
Eb
Keep goin' straight until night
Bb
And then, boy, you're on your own
Verse 5
Bb
And now in Zanzibar
Eb
A shootin' star was ridin' in a side car
Bb
Hummin' a lunar tune
Yes, and the avatar said, blow the bar
Eb
first remove the cookie jar
We're gonna teach those boys
Bb
to laugh too soon
And some kidnapped handicap
Eb
was complainin'
That he caught the clap
Bb
from some mousetrap he bought last night
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap
Eb
and between his ears
Bb
I saw a gap and figured he'd be alright
Chorus 3
Eb
F
Bb
He was just blinded by the light
Eb
F
Oh, cut loose like a deuce,
Bb
another runner in the night
Eb
F
Cm
Gm
Blinded by the light
F
Mama always told me not to look
Eb
into the sights of the sun
Bb
Eb
Bb
Oh, but Mama, that's where the fun is
