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:

Chorus

Science fiction, double feature

Doctor X will build a creature.

Forbidden Planet

Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh

Usherette

I knew Leo G. Carrol

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...

Brad Hey Janet.

Janet Yes Brad?

Brad I've got something to say

Janet Uh huh.

Brad

I really love the skillful way...

you beat the other girls...

to the bride's bouquet.

Janet Oh Brad.

Brad

The river was deep but I swam it (Chorus: 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.

Janet

Oh, it's nicer than Betty Monroe had. (Oh Brad)

Now we're engaged and I'm so glad (Oh Brad)

That you met Mom and you know Dad. (Oh Brad)

I've one thing to say and that's Brad, I'm mad, for you too.

Oh Brad...

Brad Oh... dammit.

Janet I'm mad...

Brad Oh... Janet.

Janet ...for you.

Brad I love you too.

Brad & Janet

There's one thing left to do - ah - oo.

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 Dammit, Janet, I love you.

Dammit, Janet.

Janet Oh Brad, I'm mad.

Brad Dammit, Janet.

Brad & Janet I love you.

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 & Janet There's a light...

Chorus Over at the Frankenstein place.

Brad & Janet There's a light...

Chorus Burning in the fireplace.

Brad & Janet

There's a light, light in the darkness of everybody's life.

Brad

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.

Brad & Janet There's a light...

Chorus Over at the Frankenstein place.

Brad & Janet There's a light...

Chorus Burning in the fireplace.

Brad & Janet

There's a light, light in the darkness of everybody's life.

Riff Raff

The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming.

Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming

Into my life.

Into my life...

Brad & Janet There's a light...

Chorus Over at the Frankenstein place.

Brad & Janet There's a light...

Chorus

Burning in the fireplace.

There's a light, a light

Time Warp

Riff Raff

It's astounding;

Time is fleeting;

Madness

takes it's toll.

But listen closely...

Magenta

Not for very much longer.

Riff Raff

I've got to keep control.

I remember

doing the time-warp.

Drinking those moments when

The darkness would hit me

Riff & Magenta

And a void would be calling...

Transylvanians

Let's do the time-warp again.

Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator It's just a jump to the left.

All And then a step to the right.

Narrator With you're hands on you hips.

All

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.

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 into the 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.

All

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 this snake of a guy gave me an evil wink.

He shook me up, he took me by surprise

He had a pickup truck, and the devil's eyes.

He stared at me and I felt a change.

Time meant nothing, never would again.

Narrator It's just a jump to the left.

All And then a step to the right.

Narrator With you're hands on you hips.

All

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.

Let's do the time-warp again.

Narrator It's just a jump to the left.

All And then a step to the right.

Narrator With you're hands on you hips.

All

You bring your knees in tight.

But it's the pelvic thrust

Let's do the time-warp again.

Let's do the time-warp again.

Sweet Transvestite

Frank

How do 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 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 a 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

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,

Then 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 all right.

I'll get you a satanic mechanic.

I'm just a sweet transvestite

From Transsexual, Transylvania.

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 Transsexual, Transylvania.

HIT IT, HIT IT!

I'm just a sweet transvestite

Columbia, Riff Raff, Magenta

Sweet transvestite

Frank

From Transsexual,

Frank, Columbia, Riff Raff, Magenta

Transylvania.

Frank

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.

The Sword Of Damocles

Rocky

The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head,

And I've got the feeling that 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.

I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed.

All That ain't no crime.

Rocky

And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnamable dread.

All 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.

Frank Oh, Rocky!

All Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime.

Rocky Oh ho no no

Rocky

Oh ho no no

The sword of Damocles is hanging over my head.

All That ain't no crime.

Rocky

And I've got the feeling that someone's gonna be cutting the thread.

All Sha-la-la-la that ain't no crime.

Rocky Oh no no no

I Can Make You A Man

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 massage...

and just a little bit of steam,

He'll be pink and quite clean

He'll be a strong man.

Oh honey...

All But the wrong man.

Frank

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...

Frank & Transylvanians

I can make you a man.

Frank

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...

I can make you a man.

Frank Ah... ooh!

Hot Patootie (Bless My Soul)

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, 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 'n roll show.

You climbed in the back seat, you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n roll. (x4)

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'd melt

And she'd whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine.

Get back in front, put some hair oil on

Buddy Holly was singing his very last song.

With your arms around your girl you'd try to sing along.

It felt pretty good. Woo you really had a good time.

Hot patootie, bless my soul, I really love that rock 'n roll. (x12)

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 Charles Atlas by the

...ha-ha-hand.

Frank & Transylvanians

In just seven days

I can make you a man.

Frank

I don't want no distention,

Just dynamic tension.

Janet I'm a muscle fan.

Frank

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.

Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me

Janet

I was feeling done in,

couldn't win.

I'd only ever kissed before.

I though there's no use getting

Into heavy petting.

In 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.

Magenta & Columbia

More, more, more.

Janet

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 want to 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 & Columbia

Down, down, down.

Janet

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 want to be dirty.

Thrill me chill me fulfill me!

Creature of the night.

Columbia

Toucha toucha toucha touch me!

Magenta I want to be dirty.

Columbia

Thrill me, chill me, fulfill me!

Magenta Creature of the night.

Janet

Toucha toucha toucha touch me!

I want to be dirty.

Eddie's Teddy

Dr. Scott

From the day he was born

He was trouble.

He was the thorn

In his mother's side.

She tried in vain...

Narrator

...but he never caused her nothing but shame.

Dr. Scott

He left home the day she died.

From the she was gone

All he wanted

Was Rock-n-Roll porn

And a motorbike

Shooting up junk...

Narrator

He was a low down cheap little punk!

Scott

Taking everyone for a ride.

All

When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid.

But when he threatened you life with a switch-blade knife

Frank What a guy!

Janet Makes you cry.

Dr. 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.

Dr. Scott

But he must have been drawn

Into something,

Making him warn

Me in a note that reads...

All

What's it say? What's it say?

Eddie's voice

I'm out of my hed.

Oh, hurry, or I may be dead.

They mustn't carry out their evil deed.

All

When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid.

But when he threatened you life with a switch-blade knife

Frank What a guy!

Janet Makes you cry.

Dr. Scott Und I did.

All

When Eddie said he didn't like his Teddy

You knew he was a no-good kid.

But when he threatened you life with a switch-blade knife

Frank What a guy!

All Oh-oh-oh...

Janet Makes you cry.

All Hey, hey, hey...

Dr. Scott Und I did.

Rose Tint My World

A. Floor Show

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 a-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.

Rocky

I'm just seven hours old,

And 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 tint 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!

What's come over me?

Whoa!

Here it comes again.

Janet

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 Frankie's landed!

His lust is so sincere.

B. Fanfare / Don't Dream It

Frank

Whatever happened to Fay Wray?

That delicate, satin-draped frame?

As it clung to her thigh

How I started to cry

'Cause 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 treasure forever.

Can't you just see it? Oh, oh, oh.

Don't dream it, be it. (four times)

All Don't dream it, be it (eight times)

Dr. Scott

Ach! 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!

Brad

It's beyond me;

help me Mommy!

Janet

God Bless Lilly St. Cyr.

C. Wild And An Untamed Thing

Frank

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 'till the life has gone.

Riff Raff

Frank N Furter, it's all over.

Your mission is a failure;

Your lifestyle'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

Frank On the day I went away...

All Good-bye...

Frank Was all I had to say...

All Now I...

Frank I want to come again, and stay.

All Oh, my, my...

Frank

Smile, and that will mean I may.

'cause I've seen, oh, blue skies,

through the tears in my eyes

And I realize, I'm going home.

All I'm going home.

Frank

Everywhere

it's been the same...

All ...feeling...

Frank

...like I'm outside in the rain...

All ...wheeling...

Frank

...free to try and find a game...

All ...dealing...

Frank

Through the tears in my eyes

And I realize, I'm going home.

Frank & All I'm going home. (3 times)

Super Heroes

Brad

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...

All bleeding...

Janet

And super heroes come to feast

To taste the flesh not yet deceased.

And all I know is still the beast is...

All feeding...

Narrator

And crawling on the planet's face

Some Insects

called the human race...

Lost in time

and lost in space

And meaning.
