And so it must be, for so it is written
On the doorway to paradise
That those who falter and those who fall
Must pay the price!
Lord, let me find him
That I may see him
Safe behind bars
I will never rest
'Til then
This I swear
This I swear by the stars!
Star Trekkin’ across the universe
On the Starship Enterprise under Captain Kirk
Star Trekkin’ across the universe
Boldly going forward 'cause we can’t find reverse
Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand
I’d like to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore
Leave all your lovers weeping on the faraway shore
Out on the briny with the moon big and shinny
Melting your heart of stone
I’d love to get you on a slow boat to China
All to myself alone
I can escape this feeling with my China girl
Escape from the ‘Planet of the Apes’
Well we gotta escape from the ‘Planet of the Apes’
'Cause all our friends are on a different planet
Yes all my friends are on a different planet now
Gotta escape from the ‘Planet of the Apes’
Gotta escape from the ‘Planet of the Apes’
I’ve got a star ship that will take you to the planet where Mick Jagger lives
We’ve gotta escape to the ‘Planet of the Apes’
We’ve gotta escape to the ‘Planet of the Apes’ before we explode
Then along come somebody not suspectin’ nothin’
Harry jump out of the bushes all of a sudden
Beat on his chest (sound effect of this action)
Jump up & down & he say:
Wooo-hoo-hee-hee-hoo-hoo…
Which is Harry-Ape talk for “Boo, I betcha I scared you, ha ha!”
I think I’m sophisticated
'Cause I’m living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me, everybody’s multiplying
And they’re walking round like flies man
So I’m no better than the animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
Because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an Apeman
He got a big ugly club and a head full of hay-air
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Like great big lions and grizzly bears
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop) He’s the toughest man there is alive
(Alley-Oop) Wearin’ clothes from a wildcat’s hide
(Alley-Oop) He’s the king of the jungle jive
Look at that cave man go!!
Johnny get angry, Johnny get mad
Give me the biggest lecture I ever had
I want a brave man, I want a cave man
Johnny, show me that you care, really care for me
In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pajamas or doctors
And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in technicolor
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
Alive and being fed inside a zoo cage
You reach out your hand
But you’re all alone
In those time passages
I know you’re in there
You’re just out of sight
Time passages
Buy me a ticket on the last train home tonight…
Oh yeah, I’ll tell you somethin’,
I think you’ll understand,
When I say that somethin’,
I want to hold your hand…
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 it’s 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
Sweet Transvestite!
From Transexual, Transylvania
That’s to do the twist, Transylvania-style
Although she’s screaming all of the while
So grab a hold of your baby, and hold her tight
Because Baron Daemon is lurking tonight!
Out from the coffin’, Drac’s voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist and said
"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash
The monster mash, it was graveyard smash
It’s now the mash, it caught on in a flash
It’s now the mash, it’s now the monster mash
My sweetheart has gone
And I’m so lonely
She said that she and I were through
So I started out drinkin’ for past time
Drivin’ nails in my coffin over you
I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin
Everytime I drink a bottle of booze
I’m just drivin’ nails in my coffin, Lord
I’m drivin’ those nails over you
I’m gonna do everything I can
To get even with you
I started today when I wrote your name down
In 34 telephone booths
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
And don’t it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin’ harder to find
And all your kicks ain’t bringin’ you peace of mind
Before you find out it’s too late, girl
You better get straight
No, you don’t need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I’m gonna help you find yourself another way
