Hi all. Can anyone fill in the bits of the Slinky Song I've missed. <This
is the song that was in the commercial.>

What rolls down stairs
Alone or in pairs
And makes a slinkety sound?
<don't know this part>

Everyone knows it's Slinky,
It's Slinky, it's slinky,
For fun it's a wonderful toy,
It's fun for a girl and a boy.


Also, if anyone has the lyrics to the 'Log Jingle' from The Ren and Stimpy
show, they would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Gesi

What rolls down stairs, alone or in pairs
Rolls over the neighbor's dog
What's good for a snack and fits on your back
It's Log, Log, Log!
(There's more, but I've forgotten it.)

Did you ever notice, when Willie plays the musical combination lock, one of
the mothers says "Rachmaninoff", but it isn't, it's Mozart!

I haven't heard it in a long time, but this is what I seem to
remember:

What rolls down stairs
Alone or in pairs

Runs over your neighbor's dog?

Tastes good for a snack
And fits on your back
It's log, log log!

It's log, it's log
It's big, it's heavy, it's wood
It's log, it's log
It's better than bad, it's good!

Laughing out loud as I type this...

LYRICS TO THE SLINKY JINGLE:

What walks down stairs alone or in pairs and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvellous thing!
Everyone knows it's Slinky!

What gives a big lift when wrapped as a gift?
A very likeable toy,
It's falling in place, brings smiles to your face,
Something kids can enjoy.

CHORUS: It's Slinky, It's Slinky,


For fun it's a wonderful toy,

It's Slinky, It's Slinky,


It's fun for a girl and a boy.

And Slinky mobiles, with big Slinky wheels,
and pistons that move as you go,
It makes a great sound when you pull it around,
The driver's an old-timey fellow.

A Slinky dog, a Slinky train,
Many more wonderful toys,
You tug the string, they do their thing,
Theyre great for girls and boys!

(CHORUS REPEATS)

A spring, a spring
A marvelous thing
Everyone knows it's Slinky.

It's Slinky, it's Slinky


For fun it's a wonderful toy

It's fun for a girl and a boy.

A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing


Everyone knows it's Slinky.

[chorus]
> It's Slinky, it's slinky,
> For fun it's a wonderful toy,


> It's fun for a girl and a boy.

It gives a big lift when wrapped as a gift,
A very likable toy.
It's falling in place brings smiles to your face,
Something kids can enjoy.
[chorus]

And Slinky-mobiles and big Slinky wheels
And pistons that move as you go.


It makes a great sound when you pull it around,
The driver's an old-timey fellow.

[chorus]

A Slinky-dog, a Slinky-train,
Many more wonderful toys.


You tug the string, they do their thing,

They're great for girls and boys.
[chorus 2]
They're Slinkies, they're Slinkies,
Really wonderful toys.
They're Slinkies, they're Slinkies,
They're fun for girls and boys.
