E                            A                           B7             E
Madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat
                                      A                    B7           E
In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat
                                  A                   B7                      E
With a boulder on my shoulder feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round
                             A                         B7                         E
With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground
 
                           A                        B7                               E
Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands
                             A                               B7             E
And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand
                                     A                                                    E
And now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in sand
                                A                               B7                           E
And some bloodshot forget-menot whispers daddy's within earshot save the buckshot turn the band
 
              A      B       E
And she was blinded by the light
                A              B       E
Ooh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
   A     B       C#m  B7                                             A            E  A E C#m
Blinded by the light she got down but she never got tight, but she'll make it alright
 
E                           A               B7                         E
Some brimstone baritone anticyclone rolling stone preacher from the east
                                   A                                B7                       E
He says: "Dethrone the dictaphone, hit it in its funny bone, that's where they expect it least"
                                A                                B7                        E
And some new-mown chaperone was standin' in the corner all alone watchin' the young dance
                                  A                               B7                            E
And some fresh-sown moonstone was messin' with his frozen zone to remind him of the of romance
 
               A      B       E
Yeah, he was blinded by the light
                A              B       E
Ooh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
   A     B       C#m  B7                                                A           E  A E C#m
Blinded by the light he got down but she never got tight, but he's gonna make it tonight
 
       B                                          A                    E
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes
                  B                                                                        E
She said I'll turn you on sonny to something strong if you play that song with the funky break
      B                                                     A                       E
And go-cart Mozart was checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside
        B                                               A                      E
And little Early-Pearly came in by her curly-wurly and asked me if I needed a ride
 
                                 A                       B7                E
Oh, some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier
                                             A                                     B7
Yes, and Scotland Yard was trying hard, they sent some dude with a calling card, he said
                                       E
Do what you like, but don't do it here
                                              A                                                  E
Well, I jumped up, turned around, spit in the air, fell on the ground, asked which was the back home
                                              A                                                  E
He said take a right at the light, keep going straight until right, and then boy you're on your own
 
                                        A                    B7                 E
And now in Zanzibar a shootin' star was ridin' in a side car hummin' a lunar tune
                                  A                                B7
Yes, and the avatar said blow the bar but first remove the cookie jar
                                         E
We're gonna teach boys to laugh too soon
                                    A                                                                   E
And some kidnapped handicap was complaining that he caught the clap from some mousetrap bought last night
                                    A                               B7                       E
Well, I unsnapped his skull cap and between his ears I saw a gap but he'd figured he'd be right
 
            A       B      E
He was just blinded by the light
               A               B       E
Ooh, cut loose like a deuce another runner in the night
    A    B     C#m   B7                                                    A
Blinded by the light Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
 
Oh, but mama that's where the fun is
 
I was blinded
 
 
     E          A          B         B7
