Michael Rennie was ill the day the Earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Rains was the invisible man
Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace it came from outer space
And this is how the message ran
Science fiction double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh, at the late night double feature picture show
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Janette Scott
Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skill
But when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills, like a

Brad:
Hey Janet
Janet:
Yes, Brad
Brad:
I've got something to say
Janet:
Uh huh
Brad: I really loved the skillful way
You beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet
The river was deep but I swam it, Janet
The future is ours so let's plan it, Janet
So please don't tell me to can it, Janet
I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet, I love you
The road was long but I ran it, Janet
There's a fire in my heart and you fan it, Janet
If there's one fool for you then I am it, Janet
I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet, I love you
Here's the ring to prove that I'm no joker
There's three ways that love can grow
That's good, bad, or mediocre
Oh, J-a-n-e-t, I love you so
Janet:
Ooh boy I love you so, never ever ever gonna let you go,
once I get my hands on you
Ooh boy I love you so, never ever ever gonna let you go,
I hope you feel the same way too.
Oh it's nicer than the one Betty Munroe had, oh, Brad
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad, oh, Brad
That you've met Mom and you know Dad,
Oh, Brad, I'm mad, for you too
Oh, Brad
Brad:
Oh damn it
Janet:
I'm mad
Brad:
Oh, Janet
Janet:
For you
Brad:
I love you too
Together:
There's one thing left to do, hoo-hoo
Brad:
And that's go see the man who began it, Janet
When we met in his science exam-it, Janet
Made me give you the eye and then panic, Janet
Now I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet, I love you
Damn it, Janet
Janet:
Oh, Brad, I'm mad
Brad:
Damn it, Janet
Together:
I love you (Ooh boy I love you so, never ever ever gonna let you go)

In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life
I can see the flag fly
I can see the rain
Just the same
There has got to be
Something better here for you and me
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life
The darkness must go
Down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun and light come streaming
Into my life
Into my life
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life
We need some light, first of all we need some light
Will you light my candle,
The Light in the Piazza
You know that it would be untrue
You know that I would be a liar
If I was to say to you, Girl we couldn’t get much higher
Come on baby light my fire (there’s a light)
Come on baby light my fire (there’s a light)
Try to set the night on fire
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness of everybody's life

Time Warp
04:39
|
|||
It's astounding; time is fleeting
madness takes its toll
But listen closely - not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember - doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
the blackness would hit me - and the void would be calling....
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
It's just a jump to the left / to the left to the left / and then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips /when I dip you dip we dip / you bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust - that really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
do do do do do
TICK TOCK TICK
Time keeps on slipping slipping slipping in to the future,
into the future
It's so dreamy - oh fantasy free me! So you can't see me - no not at all
In another dimension, with voyeuristic intention
Well secluded I'll see all
With a bit of a mind flip - you're into the time slip
Nothing can ever be the same
You're spaced out on sensation - like you're under sedation!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
In west Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all shootin some b-ball outside of the school
He stared at me and I felt a change, Time meant nothing never would again.
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
It's just a jump to the left / to the left to the left / and then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips / when I did you dip you dip we dip /
you bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust - that really drives you insane
Let's do the Time Warp again!
Let's do the Time Warp again!
If you're lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting
Time after time
If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you
And you'd stay
Ain’t looking for nothing but a good time
how can I resist?
Ain’t looking for nothing but a good time
no it don’t get better than this
Let's do the Time Warp again! Hit me baby one more time
Let's do the Time Warp again! Hit me baby one more time
Let's do the Time Warp again!

Sweet Transvestite
03:33
|
|||
How do you do?
I see you've met my
Faithful handy - man
He's just a little brought down, because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
The Candy Man can
'Cause he mixes it with love
And makes the world taste good
Don't get strung out, by the way I look
Don't judge a book by its cover
I'm not much of a man by the light of day
But, by night I'm one hell of a lover
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual, Transylvania
Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
You look like you're both . .. pretty groovy
Or if you want something visual . .. that's not too abysmal
We could take in an old Steve Reeves movie
We're glad we caught you at home, Could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry
We'll just stay where we are, then to back to our car
We don't want to be any worry
Well, you got caught with a flat, Well, how 'bout that?
Well, babies, don't you panic
By the light of the night, it'll all seem alright
I'll get you a Satanic mechanic!
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual, Transylvania
Why don't you stay for the night? (Night!) or maybe, a bite? (Bite!)
I could show you my favorite obsession
I've been making a man, with blond hair and a tan
and he's good for relieving my ..t t t t t t “tension"
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual, Transylvania
I'm just a sweet transvestite from transsexual, Transylvania
So - come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab
I see you shiver with antici...pation
But, maybe the rain, isn't really to blame
So, I'll remove the cause, but not the symptom!

Sword of Damocles
02:26
|
|||
My mama told me when I was young
We are all born superstars
She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on
In the glass of her boudoir
"There's nothing wrong with loving who you are"
She said, "'Cause he made you perfect, babe"
"So hold your head up girl and you'll go far,
Listen to me when I say”
WHAT DID SHE SAY?
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
Oh, woe is me
My life is a misery
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer down down down
I'm beautiful in my way
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way (Born this way)
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed (That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread (That ain't no crime)
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
Ooh they’re aint no other way
baby I was born this way
baby I was born this way
Ooh they’re aint no other way
baby I was born this way
Right track baby I was born this way
Sha la la la That ain't no crime (I was born this way)
Sha la la la That ain't no crime (I was born this way)
Sha la la la That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime
Sha la la la That ain't no crime (I was born this way)
Sha la la la That ain't no crime (I was born this way)
Sha la la la That ain't no crime, that ain't no crime
Sha lala

A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
Got sand in his face
When kicked to the ground
And soon in the gym
With a determined chin
The sweat from his pores
As he works for his cause
Will make him glisten
And gleam, and with massage
And just a little bit of steam
He'll be pink and quite clean
He'll be a strong man
But the wrong man
He'll eat nutritious, high protein
And swallow raw eggs
Try to build up his shoulders
His chest, arms, and legs
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days
I can make you a man
He'll do press-ups and chin-ups
Do the snatch, clean, and jerk
Dynamic tension
Sounds like awfully hard work
Such strenuous living
I just don't understand
When in just seven days
I can make you a man
But a deltoid and a bicep
A hot groin and a tricep
Makes me (Ooh!) shake
Makes me wanna take Charles Atlas by the hand
In just seven days
I can make you a man
I want no dissension
Just dynamic tension
I’m a muscle fan!
In just seven days
I can make you a man
Dig it, if you can!
In just seven days
I can make you a man

S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT
S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday nights all right
Whatever happened to Saturday night,
You dressed up sharp and you felt all right,
It don't seem the same since cosmic light,
Came into my life, it really was divine.
I used to ride with a chick who'd go,
And listen to the music on the radio,
A saxophone was playin' in a rock'n roll show,
You climbed in the backseat, we really had a good time.
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled,
My hands fumbled with a white plastic belt,
I'd taste her pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt,
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine.
Get back in the front and put some hair oil on,
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song,
With my arms around my girl I'd try to sing along,
It felt pretty good, Whoo! We really had a good time.
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Bless the lord
I love rock and roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll, so come and take a change and dance with me
Saturday in the park, I think it was the fourth of July
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock'n roll,
Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that...
I said I really love that rock and roll

Touch-A Touch-A Touch Me
02:32
|
|||
I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before.
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat wetting...
Now all I want to know is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more (more, more, MORE)
I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance:
Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.
Then if anything grows while you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down (down, down, DOWN)
And that's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action
Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.
I Don’t want anybody else when I think about you I touch myself.
I Don’t want anybody else when I think about you I touch my...
Toucha toucha toucha touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.
Creature of the night.

Once in a While
02:39
|

Once in a while, she don't want to call you
Speaking on the telephone
And once in your life, she won't want to know you
You look around
The one you've found, she is gone
And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to turn to stone
The sweeter the wine
The harder to make the break
You hear something about someone
You'd thought you'd known
So baby don't cry like there's no tomorrow
After the night there's a brand new day
And there'll be no pain, and no more sorrow
So wash your face
And phone my place, it'll be OK
And that's all the time that it takes
For a heart to beat again
So give me a sign
That a lover makes
You look around
The one you've found is back again

Eddie’s Teddy
02:37
|

From the day he was born, he was trouble.
He was the thorn in his mutter's side
She tried in vain.
But he never caused her nothing but shame.
He left home the day she died.
Eins, zwei, drei
From the day she was gone All he wanted
was rock and roll, porn, und a motor bike
Shooting up junk. He was a low-down, cheap little punk.
Taking everyone for a ride.
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy
You knew he was a no good kid
But When he threatened your life with a switch blade knife --
What a guy. Makes you cry. Und I did.
Everybody shoved him. I very nearly loved him.
I said, "Hey, listen to me. Stay sane inside insanity."
But he locked the door and threw away the key.
But he must have been drawn into something. Making him warn
me in a note which reads: What's it say? What's it say?
I'm out of my head. O, hurry or I may be dead.
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds.
Oh baby let me be, your lovin' teddy bear
Put a chain around my neck, and lead me anywhere
Oh let me be (you teddy bear)
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy
You knew he was a no good kid
But When he threatened your life with a switch blade knife --
What a guy.
Makes you cry.
Und I did.
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy

I'll tell you once, I won't tell you twice.
You'd better wise up Janet Weiss.
Your apple pie don't taste too nice
You'd better wise up, Janet Weiss
I've laid the seed it should be all you need
You're as sensual as a pencil,
Wound up like an E or a first string
When we made it, did you hear a bell ring?
You got a block? Well, take my advice
You better wise up Janet Weiss.
The transducer will seduce ya.
It's something you'll get used to -
A mental mind fuck can be nice.
You better wise up Janet Weiss.
You better wise up, build your thighs up, You better wise up
And then she cried out...stop!
Interplanet Janet, she's a galaxy girl,
A solar system Ms. from a future world,
She travels like a rocket with her comet team
And there's never been a planet Janet Schmanet hasn't seen,

It was great when it all began
I was a regular Frankie fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start a-workin' on a muscle man
Now the only thing that gives me hope
Is my love of a certain dope
Rose tints my world
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Britney Spears
I'm just seven hours old
Truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
Bernadette Peters
Now the only thing I've come to trust
Is an orgasmic rush of lust
Rose tints my world
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Idina Menzel
It's beyond me, help me Mommy
I'll be good, not wicked, you’ll see
Take this dream away
Julie Andrews
What's this, let's see, I feel sexy
What's come over me
Whoo, here it comes again
Christina Aguilera
Who-o-oa, I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
Kristin Chenoweth
The game has been disbanded
My mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere
Liza Minelli
My my my, my my my my my
My my my my my
I'm a wild and an untamed thing
I'm a bee with a deadly sting
You get a hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart'll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're gonna shake it 'til the life has gone
Rose tint my world, keep me safe from my trouble and pain
Patti LuPone
Rose tint my world, keep me safe from my trouble and pain
Everything’s coming up Rose Tint for me and for you!

I'm Going Home
03:49

Rain falls hard
Burns dry
A dream or a song
That hits you so hard
Filling you up
And suddenly gone
On the day I went away... goodbye...
Was all I had to say... now I...
I want to come again and stay... Oh my my...
Smile, and that will mean that I may
Cause I've seen blue skies, through the tears in my eyes
And I realize
I'm going home
Everywhere it's been the same... feeling...
Like I'm outside in the rain... wheeling...
Free, to try and find a game... dealing...
Cards for sorrow, cards for pain
Cause I've seen blue skies through the tears in my eyes
And I realize I'm going home
And you're shining like the brightest star
Transmission
On the midnight radio.
I'm going home, lift up your hands
I'm going home, lift up your hands
I'm going home, lift up your hands
I'm going home.

Super Heroes

I’ve done a lot,
God knows I’ve tried
To find the truth
I’ve even lied
And all I know is down inside I’m bleeding
And super heroes, come to feast to taste the flesh not yet deceased
And all I know is still the beast is feeding.
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height, height
And crawling on the planets face,
Some insects called the human race,
Lost in time, lost in space, and meaning, meaning.
