Thanks so much to Spooky for typing these out for me.. You rule mate!
SCIENCE 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 Raines 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
Picture Show
I know Leo G. Carroll
Dr 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 over the hills
And I really got hot
When I saw Janet Scott
Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said "Prunes"
Gave him the runes
And passing then used a lot of skill
And when worlds collide
Said George Pal to his bride
I’m going to give you some terrible thrills
Like a- Science Fiction- Double Feature
Dr X will build a creature
See Androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis starts in Forbidden Planet
Oh- At the late night Double Feature
Picture Show
I want to go-oh oh-
To the late night Double Feature
Picture Show
In the back row- oh oh-
To the late night Double Feature

DAMN IT JANET
Hey Janet
Yes
I’ve got something to say
Yes Brad
I really like the skilful way (Phantoms)
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 a ring to prove I’m no joker
There’s three ways that love can grow
That’s good- bad- or mediocre
J.A.N.E.T
I love you so (Phantoms)
Oh it’s nicer that 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
I’ve one thing to say and that’s…
Brad- I’m mad- for you too…
Oh Brad
Oh damn it
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 that began it
(Janet)
When we met in his science exam it
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
Oh Brad I’m mad
Damn it Janet
I love you
OVER AT THE FRANKSTEIN 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 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 the night’s 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
THE TIME WARP
It’s astounding- Time is fleeting
Madness takes it 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
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
And 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
In another dimension
With voyeuristic intention
Well secluded- I’ll see all
With a bit of a mind flip
You’re there in 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
It’s just a jump to the left
And then a step to the right
With your hands on your hips
And 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
Well I was walking down the street
Just having a think
When a snake of a guy gave me an evil wink
Well it shook me up, it took me by surprise
He had a pick-up truck and the devil’s eyes
Oh- 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
‘Tap Break"
Eat your heart Ann Miller
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
And 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
SWEET TRANSVESTITE
How do you do
I see you’ve met my faithful handyman
He’s a little brought down
Because when you’re knocked
He thought you were the candyman
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 the day
But by night I’m 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 groovey
Or if you want something visual
That’s not too abysmal
We could take an old
Steve Reeves movie
I’m glad we caught you at home
Ah- could we use your phone
We’re both in a bit of a hurry
We’ll just say where we are
Then go back to the car
We don’t want to be a worry
You got caught with a flat
Well how about 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 transexual
Transylvania
Why don’t cha stay for the night (night)
Or maybe a bite (bite)
I could show my favourite obsession
I’ve been making a man
With blonde hair and a tan
And he’s good for relieving my tension
I’m just a sweet transvestite
From transexual
Transylvania
I’m just a sweet transvestite (sweet transvestite)
From transexual
Transylvania
So come up to the lab
And see what’s on the slab
I see you shiver with anticipation
But maybe the rain
Is really to blame
So I’ll remove the cause
But not the symptom
SWORD OF DAMOCLES
The Sword of Damocles is hanging
over my head
And I’ve got the felling someone’s
Going to be the cutting thread
Oh woe is me- my life is a misery
Oh can’t you see that I’m at the start
When I fell out of bed
That ain’t no crime
And left from my dreaming
Was a feeling of unamiable 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
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
that ain’t no crime
Rocky Horror you need a peace of mind
And I want to tell you
That you’re doing just fine
You’re the product of another crime
And feeling low well that’s no crime
That ain’t no crime
The Sword of Damocles is hanging
Over my head
That ain’t no crime
And I’ve got the feeling someone’s
Going to be the cutting thread
That ain’t no crime
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
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
That ain’t no crime
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
Oh no no no no
She la la la that ain’t no crime
That ain’t no crime
She la la
I CAN MAKE YOU A MAN
A weakling weighing 98 pounds
Gets sand in his face when kicked to the ground
His girl spits on him
And soon in the gym
The sweat from his pores
As he works for his cause
We’ll make him glisten and gleam
And with a massage and gleam
He’ll be fit and quite lean
He’ll be a strong man
But with 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 only he knew of my plan
When in seven days
I can make you a man
He’d so press ups and chin ups
Do the snatch, clean and jerk
I think dynamic tension
Must be 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 groan and a tricep
Makes me shake
Makes me want to take
Charles Atlas by the hand
In just seven days
I can make you a man
I don’t want any dissension
Dissension…sension
Just dynamic tension
Tension…tension
I’m a muscle fan
In just seven days I can make you man
Dig it if you can
In seven days I can make you a man
HOT PATOOTIE
Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and felt alright
It don’t seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life and 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 in a rock
And roll show
And you climbed in the back and you really had a
Good time
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
My head used to swim from the perfume I smelt
And she’d whisper in my ear tonight
She really was mine
Get back in front and put some hair oil in
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
You put your arm around your girl you’d
Try to sing along
You felt pretty good cause you’d really
Had a good time
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
(sax solo)
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
TOUCH-A TOUCH-A TOUCH ME
I was feeling done in
Couldn’t win
I’d only ever kissed before
You mean you’ve only ever
Ah ha
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
And I needed assistance
Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch me
I want to be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the right
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 want to be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of night
Creature of night
Creature of night
Creature of night
ONCE IN A WHILE
Once in while
She don’t want to call you
Speaking on the telephone
For once in your life
She don’t want to know you
You look around
The one you found and she is gone
Boom boom boom boom boom
Shoop shoop
Sha la la la
And that’s all the time
That it takes
For a heart to turn to stone
The sweeter than wine
The harder to make the break
You hear something
And someone you 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
An no more sorrow
So wash your face
And phone my place
It’ll be okay
And that’s all the time
That it takes
For a heart to beat again
So give a sign
That a lover makes
You look around
The one you found is back again
Is back again
EDDIE’S TEDDY
From the day he was born, he was in trouble
He was the thorn in his mother’s side
She tried in vain
But he never caused her nothing but pain
He left home the day they died
From the day she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock n roll porn and a motor bike
Shootin’ 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 no good kid
But when he threatened your life
With a switchblade knife
What a guy
Makes you cry
And I did
Everybody shoved him
I very dearly loved him
I say 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 read
What’s it say, what’s it say
I’m out of my head
Hurry or I may be dead
They musn’t carry out their evil deeds
When Eddie said he didn’t like his teddy
You knew he was no good kid
But when he threatened your life
With a switchblade knife
What a guy
Makes you cry
And I did
What a guy
Makes you cry
And I did
What a guy
Makes you cry
And I did
What a guy
Makes you cry
And I did
Eddie

Won’t tell you twice
You’d better wise up Janet Weiss

Use a bit of mustard
You’re a hot dog
But you’d better not try to hurt her

ROSE TINT MY WORLD
It was great
When it all began
I was a regular Franky fan
But it was over when he had the plan
To start working 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
I’m just seven years old
Truly beautiful to behold
And someone should be told
My libido hasn’t been controlled
Now the only thing I’ve come to trust
Is an orgasmic rust 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
I feel sexy
What’s this, let’s see
I feel sexy
What’s come over me
Here it comes again
I feel released
Bad times deceased
My confidence has increased
Reality is here
The game has been expanded
It’s gas that Frankie’s landed
His lust is so sincere
DON’T DREAM IT
Whatever happened to Fay Wray
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh
How I started to cry
Cos I wanted to be dressed just the same
Give yourself over absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasure forever-
Can’t you just see it
Don’t dream it- be it
Don’t dream it- be it
Don’t dream it- be it
Don’t dream it- be it
Hmm… we’ve got to get out of this trap
Before this decadence saps our wills
I’ve got to be strong and try to hang on
Or else my mind may well snap
And my life will be lived for the thrills
Don’t dream it- be it
It’s beyond me
Help me mommy
God bless Lily St Cyr
WILD AND UNTAMED THING
I’m a wild and untamed thing
I’m a bee with a deadly sting
Get a hit, and your mind goes ping
You heart’ll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
I’m gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world
Keep me safe from my trouble and pain
We’re a wild and an untamed thing
We’re a bee with deadly sting
Get a hit, and your mind goes ping
You heart’ll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We’re gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rock on
Rose tint my world
Keep safe from my trouble and pain
Keep me safe from my trouble and pain
We’re a wild and an untamed thing
We’re a bee with deadly sting
Get a hit, and your mind goes ping
You heart’ll thump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We’re gonna shake it till the life has gone
Rock on
Rose tint my world
Keep safe from my trouble and pain
Frank ‘N’ Furter
It’s all over
Your mission is a failure
Your life style’s too extreme
I’m your new commander
You now are my prisoner
We return to Transylvania
Prepare the transit beam
I’M GOING HOME
On the day I went away
Goodbye
Was all I had to say
Now I
Want to come again and stay
On my my
Smile and that will mean I may
Cos
I’ve seen blue skies
Through the tears
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 again
Dealing
Cards for sorrow
Cards for pain
Cos I’ve seen
Yes I’ve seen the blue skies
Through the tears
Through the tears
Through the tears in my eyes
And I realize
Yes I’ve seen the blue skies
Through the tears
Through the tears
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
SUPER HEROES
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
I s still the beast
Is feeding…
Ooh- oohs
And crawling on the planet’s face
Some insects called the human race
Lost in time
And lost in space
And meaning
Meaning
