Well, madman drummers bummers and Indians in the summer with a teenage diplomat In the dumps with the mumps as the adolescent pumps his way into his hat With a boulder on my shoulder, feelin' kinda older I tripped the merry-go-round With this very unpleasing sneezing and wheezing the calliope crashed to the ground Some all-hot half-shot was headin' for the hot spot snappin' his fingers clappin' his hands And some fleshpot mascot was tied into a lover's knot with a whatnot in her hand Now young Scott with a slingshot finally found a tender spot and throws his lover in the sand And some bloodshot forget-me-not whispers, "Daddy's within earshot, save the buckshot, turn up the band"
We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light Yeah!
Some silicone sister with her manager's mister told me I got what it takes Said, "I'll turn you on sonny, to something strong if you play that song with the funky break" Go-cart Mozart checkin' out the weather chart to see if it was safe to go outside Little Early-Pearly came by in her curly-wurly, asked me if I needed a ride Some hazard from Harvard was skunked on beer playin' backyard bombardier And Scotland Yard was trying hard, sent some dude with a calling card, said, "Do what you like, don't do it here" Some kidnapped handicap was complainin' that he caught the clap from some mousetrap he bought last night I unsnapped his skull cap, between his ears I saw a gap, figured he'd be all right We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby by the light We were blinded (blinded) blinded (blinded) blinded baby 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
One, two, one, two, three!
Whoa! (Blinded, blinded, blinded baby by the light Blinded, blinded, blinded baby by the light)
