Science Fiction/Double Feature
Richard O'Brien's Voice:
Michael Rennie was ill
The day the Earth stood still
But he told us where to 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:
Chorus:

Richard O'Brien's Voice:
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
And when worlds collide
Said George Pal to his bride
I'm going to give you some terrible thrills
Like a--

Over at the Frankenstein Place
Janet:
In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright-there's a guiding star
No matter what or who you are.
Brad and Janet:
There'a a light.
Phantom Voices:
Over at the Frankenstein Place
Brad:
There's a light
Phantom Voices:
Burning in the fireplace.

Down the river of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow let the sun and light
Come streaming into my life

The Time Warp
Riff Raff:
It's astounding. Time is fleeting.
Madness takes its toll.
Magenta:
Ahh.
Riff Raff:
But listen closely
Magenta:
Not for very much longer
Riff Raff:
I've got to keep in control.
I remember doing the Time Warp
Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
Riff Raff and Magenta:
And the void would be calling.
Guests:
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Chorus-Narrator:
It's just a jump to the left.
Guests:
And then a step to the right.
Narrator:
With your hands on your hips.
Guests:
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust
They really drive you insane.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Magenta:
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
Riff Raff:
With a bit of a mind flip
Magenta:
You're in for a time slip
Riff Raff:
And nothing can ever be the same.
Magenta:
You're spaced out on sensation.
Riff Raff:
Like you're under sedation.
Guests:
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Columbia:
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
He stared at me and I felt a change
Time meant nothing-never would again.
Guests:
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Chorus Repeat-Narrator and Guests:
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.

Let's do the Time Warp again.

Let's do the Time Warp again.
Let's do the Time Warp again.
Sweet Transvestite
Frank:
How'd you do
I see you've met my faithful handyman
He's just a little brought down
Because when you knocked
He thought you were the candyman
Don't 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 Transexual
Transylvania.
Ah, ha
Let me show you around, maybe play you a sound
You lookl ike 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.
Brad:
I'm glad we caught 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,
and go back to the car,
We don't want to be any worry.
Frank:
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 Transexual Transylvania.
Ha ha.
Why don't you stay for the night?
Riff Raff:
Night
Frank:
Or maybe a bite?
Columbia:
Bite
Frank:
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 tension.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual Transylvania.
I'm just a sweet transvestite
Guests:
Sweet Transvestite.
Frank:
From Transexual
All:
Transylvania....Ha ha.
Frank:
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 I'll remove the cause-
But not the symptom.
I Can Make you a Man/Charles Atlas Song
Frank:
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 a little massage and just a little bit of steam
He will be pink and quite clean
He'll be a strong man
Oh, honey-
Guests:
But the wrong man.
Frank:
He'll eat nutritious high protein
And swallow raw eggs
Try to build up his chest, arms and legs.
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan.
In just seven days
Guests, Riff Raff, Magenta, Columbia and Frank:
I can make you a man.
Frank:
He'll do the press-ups and chin-ups
Do the snatch, clean and jerk.
He thinks dynamic tension must be hard work.
Such a strenuous living I just don't understand
When in just seven days-oh baby
I can make you a man.
Reprise-Frank:
But a deltoid and a bicep
A hot groin and a tricep
Makes me-oooh-shake
Makes me want to take
Charles Atlas by the hand.
Frank and All:
In just seven days-oh baby
I can make you a man.
Frank:
I don't want no dissension
Just dynamic tension
Janet:
I'm a muscle fan.
Frank and Guests:
In just seven days
I can make you a man
Frank:
Dig it if you can
Guests:
In just seven days
I can make you a man
The Sword of Damocles
Rocky:
The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's
Going to be cutting the thread
Riff Raff:
Oh!
Rocky:
Oh woe is me-my life is a mystery
Oh can't you see that I'm at the start
Of a pretty big downer.
I woke up this morning with a start when
I fell out of bed
Guests:
That ain't no crime.
Rocky:
And left from my dreaming was a feeling
Of unnamable dread
Guests:
That ain't no crime.
Rocky:
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.
Guests:
Sha la la la
That ain't no crime
Rocky:
Oh no no no no

Guests:

No no.
Hot Patootie-Bless My Soul/Whatever Happened to Saturday Night
Eddie:
Whatever happened to Saturday night
When you dressed up sharp and
You felt all right.
It don't seem the same since cosmic light
Came into my life and I thought
I was devine
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
And we climbed into the back seat
And we really had a good time.
All:
Hot patootie bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
Eddie and Guests:
Hot patootie bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll
(Repeat three times)
Eddie:
My head used to swim
From the perfume I smelled
My hands kind of fumbled with
Her white plastic belt
I'd taste her baby pink lipstick and
That's when I would melt
And she whispered in my ear
Tonight she really was mine
Get in the front and put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his
Very last song
With arms around your girl
You tried to sing along
It felt pretty good, whoo-really bad
A Good time.
All:
Hot patootie bless my soul
I really love that rock and roll.
(Repeat)
Touch-a Touch-a Touch-a Touch Me
Janet:
I was feeling done in
Couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before.
Columbia:
You mean she's a-
Magenta:
Huh-huh.
Janet:
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
Columbia and Magenta:
More, more more!
Janet:
I've 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, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Then if anything grows
While you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down
Magenta and Columbia:
Down down down
Janet:
And thats just one small fraction
Of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand
Oh, and I need action.
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me,
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Creature of the night
Columbia:
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me,
Magenta:
I wanna be dirty
Columbia:
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me
Magenta:
Creature of the night.
Janet:
Oh, Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me,
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me

Eddie's Teddy
Dr.Scott:
From the day he was born, he was trouble.
He was the thorn in his mutter's side
She tried in vain
Narrator:
But it never caused her nothing but shame.
Scott:
He left home the day she died
From the day she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock and roll porn and a motor bike.
Shooting up junk
Narrator:
Like a low down cheap little punk.
Scott:
Taking everyone for a ride.
Chorus-Dr.Scott and All:
When Eddie said he didn't like his teddy,
You knew he was a no good kid
When he threatned your life with a
switch blade knife.
Frank:
What a guy
Janet:
Makes you cry
Scott:
Und I did
Columbia:
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.
Scott:
He must have been drawn
into something
Making him warn me in
a note which reads
All:
What's it say? What's it say?
Eddie's Voice:
I'm out of my head.
Oh hurry or I may be dead
They mustn't carry out their evil deeds.
Yaaow
Chorus-All:
(Repeat)
Frank:
What a guy
Janet:
Makes you cry
Scott:
Und I did
Chorus-All:

Woe, woe woe

Rose Tint my World
Columbia:
It was great when it all began
I was a regular Frankie 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 and keeps me
Safe from my trouble and pain.
Rocky:
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 and keeps me
Safe from my trouble and pain
Brad:
It's beyond me
Help me, Mommy.
I'll be good, you'll see.
Take this dream away
What's this, let's see
I feel sexy
Whats come over me. Whoa-
Here it comes again.
Janet:
Oh I- 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 at Frankie's landed
His lust is so sincere
Frank:
What ever happened to Fay Wray?
That delicate satin draped frame
As it clung to her thigh
How I started to cry
Because I wanted to be dressed just the same
Give yourself over to absolute pleasure
Swim the warm waters of sins of the flesh
Erotic nightmares beyond any measure
And sensual daydreams to treasue
forever-
Can't you just see it. Oh,oh hoo. Oh.
Don't dream it. Be it.
Don't dream it. Be it.
Don't dream it. Be it.
Don't dream it. Be it.
All:
Don't dream it. Be it.
(Repeat four times)
Scott:
Ach, we've go to get out of this trap
Before this decadence saps our wills
I've got to be strong and hang on
or else my mind may well snal
Und my life will be lived for the thrill
Brad:
It's beyond me
Help me, Mommy.
Janet:
God Bless Lili St.Cyr.
Frank:
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 gotta hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're going to shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world
Keep me safe from my trouble and pain
All:
We're all wild and untamed things
We're bees with a deadly sting
You gotta hit and your mind goes ping
Your heart will pump and your blood will sing
So let the party and the sounds rock on
We're going to shake it till the life has gone
Rose tint my world
Keep me safe from my trouble and pain
I'm Going Home
Riff Raff:
Frank-N-Furter
It's all over
Your mission is a failure
Your life style's too extreme
I'm your new commander
You are now my prisoner
We return to Transylvania
Prepare to transit beam
Frank:
Wait.I can explain-
On the day I went away
Guests:
Good-bye

But all I know

And lost in space
