Richard OBrien - Science Fiction/Double Feature


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 (ooh ooh ooh) - double feature
Doctor X (ooh ooh ooh ) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooh ooh ooh)
Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in(ooh ooh ooh) Forbidden Planet
Wah-ah-ah-Oh-ho-ho
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 Jeanette Scott fight a
Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said Prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But When Worlds Collide said George Pal to his bride
'I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills'
Like a

Science fiction *ooh ooh ooh * - double feature
Doctor X, he'll build a creature *ooh ooh ooh*
See androids fighting
Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Wah-ah-ah-oh-ho-oh-oh
At the late night double feature picture show
I wanna go oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night double feature picture show
By R.K.O Whoa oh-oh-oh
To the late night double feature picture show
In the back row Oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night double-feature show

Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick - Dammit Janet

[ Featuring Barry Bostwick ]

Hey, Janet
Yes, Brad?

I've got something to say
Uh huh
I really loved the skilful way
You beat the other girls to the bride's bouquet

Oh, Brad

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
Dammit, 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
Dammit, Janet, I love you

Here's a 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

Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had (oh Brad)
Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (oh Brad)
That you've met mum and you know dad (oh Brad)
I've one thing to say and that's
Brad I'm mad for you too

Oh, Brad

Oh, dammit

I'm mad

Oh, Janet

For you

I love you too
There's one thing left to do, 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
Dammit, Janet, I love you

Dammit, Janet

Oh Brad, I'm mad

Dammit Janet

I love you

Richard OBrien - Over at the Frankenstein Place


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.

Little Nell - Time Warp


It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes it's 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
An then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips

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

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 see all

With a bit of a mind flip
You're into the time slip
And 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

Well I was walking down the street just a-having a think
When a snake of a guy give me an evil wink
He shook-a me up, he took me by surprise
He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes
He starred 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
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips

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

Tim Curry - Sweet Transvestite

Frank:
How d' you do I
See youve met my
Faithfull handyman
He's just a
Little brought down because
When you knocked
He thought you were the candyman.

Dont get strung out
By the way I look.
Dontjudge a book by its cover.
I'm not much of a man by the light of day,
But by night Im one hell of a lover

I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, 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
Thats not too abismal
We can take in an old
Steeve Reeves movie

Brad: (speaking)
I'm glad we caugt you at home.
Could we use your phone?
We're both in a bit of a hurry.

Janet:
Right.

Brad:
We'll just say where we are,
Then go back to the car.

(Transylvainian: Plesure to meet you Dr. Furter)

Brad:
We dont want to be any worry.

Frank: Well you got
Caugt with a flat, well
How about that!
Well babies
Dont you panic

By the light of the night
It will all seem alright
Ill get you a satanic
Mechanic

I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania

Why dont you
Stay for the night

Riff Raff: (whisper)
Night!

Frank:
Or maybe a bite

Columbia: (whisper)
Bite!

Frank:
I can show you my favorite
Obsession
I've been making a man
With blond hair and a tan
And he's good for relieving my
Tension

I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania

Hey, Hey!
I'm just a sweet transvestite

(Riff-Raff, Magenta, Columbia: Sweet Transvestite)

Frank:
From Transexual, Transylvania

(Riff-Raff, Magenta, Columbia: Transylvania)

Frank: (speaking)
So
Come up to the Lab
And see whats on the slab
I see you shiver with antici...pation
But maybe the rain
Is really to blame
So 'Ill remove the cause
But not
The symptom!

Tim Curry - I Can Make You a Man

A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
Will get 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, haha
He'll be pink and quite clean
He'll be a strong man
Oh, honey, 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
He thinks dynamic tension
Must be hard work
Such strenuous living
I just don't understand
When in just seven days
Oh, baby, I can make you a man

Meat Loaf - Bless My Soul

[ Featuring Hot Patootie ]

Whatever happened to Saturday night?
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life, I thought I was divine

I used to go for a ride with a chick who'd go
And listen to the music on the radio
A saxophone was blowing on a rock and roll show
We climbed in the back seat, really had a good time

Hot patootie, bless my soul
Really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll

My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and that's when I'd melt
She'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine

Get back in front and put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along
It felt pretty good, woo
Really had a good time

Hot patootie, bless my soul
Really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll

Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll

Tim Curry - I Can Make You a Man (Reprise)

But a deltoid and a bicep, a hot groin and a tricep
Makes me shake, makes me wanna take Charles Atlas by the hand

In just seven days I can make you a man

I don't 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

Susan Sarandon - Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me

I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before (you mean she?) (uh-huh)
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

Touch-a touch-a touch-a 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

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
Creature of the night

(Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me) (I wanna be dirty)
(Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me)
(Creature of the night)

Oh, touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me
Creature of the night
(Creature of the night)
(Creature of the night?)
(Creature of the night)

Johnathan Adams - Eddie's Teddy

From the day he was born, he was trouble.
He was the thorn in his mother's side.
She tried in vain, but he never caused her nothing but shame.
He left home the day she died...

From the day she was gone, all he wanted
Was rock'n'roll, porn and a motorbike
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 switchblade 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 been drawn into something
Making him warn me in a note which reads (what's it say, what's it say?)
"I'm outta my head, O hurry or I may be dead.
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds..."

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 switchblade knife
What a guy
Makes you cry
Und I did.

Susan Sarandon - Rose Tint My World


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-working on a muscle man
Now the only that gives me hope
Is my love for a certain dope
Rose tints my world keeps me safe from my trouble and pain.

I'm just seven hours old
Truly beautiful to behold
And somebody should be told
My libido hasn't been controlled
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.

It's beyond me, help me Mommy
I'll be good you'll see, take this dream away
What's this, let's see
Oh I feel sexy
What's come over me?
Oh here it comes again...

Oh I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been disbanded, my mind has been expanded
It's a gas that Frank has landed
His lust is so sincere.

Tim Curry - I'm Going Home

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

(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

I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

Charles Gray - Super Hereos

[ Featuring Susan Saradon, Barry Bostwick ]

I've done a lot, God knows I've tried
To find the truth, I've even lied
But 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.

And crawling on the planet's face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time, lost in space
And meaning.

I would like if I may to give you
A strange journey

Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me

An then a step to the right

That really drives you insane

So you can't see me, no, not at all

Say, do any of you guys know how to Madison?
For god sake get a grip off yourself Janet
Janet?

I knew he was in with a bad crowd, dammit

I knew I should have gotten that spare tire fixed
What diabolical plan has seized his crazed imagination

The intruders are entering the building, master, master
