I love to take my baby to a movie show
So I can try to smooch her while the lights are low
But she won't cuddle to a story of romance
There's only one way I've got a chance
It takes the Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein, or Dracula
To put her in the mood for love
It takes the Cat Girl, Dog Boy, Creature from the Black Lagoon
To make her feel like making love
It takes a monster from outer space
To make my baby want my embrace
And when I hold her, she's like a dream
If only she can hear somebody scream
She doesn't go for parking down in Lovers' Lane
And lots of moonlight doesn't drive this girl insane
She thinks that dreamy music really is a bore
But I found out what she's looking for
It takes the Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein, or Dracula
To make her tender as can be
It takes the Cat Girl, Dog Boy, Creature from the Black Lagoon
To get her making love with me
If there's a madman whose teeth are curled
Who grows a bedbug that wrecks the world
She gets romantic, it's really great
When all the other women start to faint

Love Potion #9
01:59
|
|||
|
I took my troubles down to Madam Ruth
You know, that gypsy with the gold capped tooth
She's got a pad down on thirty-fourth and vine
Sellin' little bottles of love potion no. 9
I told her that I was a flop with chicks
I've been that way since nineteen fifty-six
She looked at my palm and she made a magic sign
She said, "What you need is love potion no. 9
She bent down and turned around and gave me a wink
She said, "I'm gonna make it up right here in the sink"
It smelled like turpentine and looked like Indian ink
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' ev'ry thing in sight
But when I kissed a cop down at thirty-fourth and vine
He broke my little bottle of love potion no. 9
I held my nose, I closed my eyes, I took a drink
I didn't know if it was day or night
I started kissin' ev'ry thing in sight
But when I kissed a cop down at thirty-fourth and vine
He broke my little bottle of love potion no. 9

Monster Mash
03:38
|
|||
|
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
It caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
Out from his 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
And it's a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

Matty told Hatty about a thing she saw
Had two big horns and a wooly jaw
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully
Hatty told Matty: "Let's don't take no chance
Let's not be *L-seven*, come and learn to dance."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully
Matty told Hatty: "That's the thing to do
Get you someone really to pull the wool with you."
Wooly bully, wooly bully
Wooly bully, wooly bully, wooly bully

I Want Candy
02:58
|

|
I know a guy who's tough but sweet
He's so fine, he can't be beat
He's got everything that I desire
Sets the summer sun on fire
I want candy
I want candy
Gonna see you when the sun goes down
Ain't no finer boy in town
Candy's just what the doctor ordered
So sweet you make my mouth water
I want candy
I want candy
Candy on the beach, there's nothing better
But I like candy when it's wrapped in a sweater
Some day soon I'll make you mine
And I'll have candy all the time

Ol' Scratch (Original)
03:56
|
|||
|
The first night you called Ol’ Scratch
She only had to knock three times
And though the floorboards shook and wailed with the weight
You made the trade right away
You knew Ol’ Scratch don’t play no games with a soul now
Tied you to the bed straight away
And though your daddy tried to warn you bout the fire now
Whoa, you just couldn’t wait
And though you might try to run
No man will ever get away
From that ol’ Ball and Chain
Ol’ Scratch don’t need to see a thing put in writing
She knows that good ol' fashioned way
She’ll work a poison deep inside of your mind now
Have you seeing only one bright red face every place
But Ol’ Scratch don’t clean the floor babe
Oh no, Ol’ Scratch don’t pay the bills
And though you might try to run
No man will ever get away
From that ol’ Ball and Chain
Ol’ Scratch
Say Goodnight to Ol’ Scratch
Say Good Morning Ol’ Scratch
40 Years with Ol’ Scratch
On my death bed with Ol’ Scratch
I’ll see you up in Heaven Ol’ Scratch
Straight down to Hell with Ol’ Scratch
Don’t Play Around with Ol’ Scratch

Goo Goo Muck
02:42
|

|
When the sun goes down, and the moon comes up
I turn into a teenage goo goo muck
Yeah, I cruise through the city and I roam the street
Looking for something that is nice to eat
You better duck
When I show up
The goo goo muck
I'm the night headhunter looking for a head
With a way-out body underneath that head
Yeah, I'll get you baby with a little luck
'Cause I'm a teenage tiger and a goo goo muck
You better duck
When I show up
The goo goo muck
Yeah, the city is a jungle and I'm a beast
I'm a teenage tiger looking for a feast
I want the most but I'll take the least
'Cause I'm a goo goo muck tiger and a teenage beast, yeah
You'd better duck
When I show up
The goo goo muck

Lil' Red Riding Hood

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why it's Little Red Ridin' Hood
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big bad wolf would want
Listen to me
Little Red Ridin' Hood
I don't think even big girls should
Go walkin' in these spooky old woods alone
What big eyes you have
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad
So, just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a way
What full lips you have
They're sure to lure someone bad
So, untill you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk, with me and be safe
I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Till I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walkin' with you alone
Little Red Ridin' Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf, so I won't
What a big heart I have
The better to love you with
Little Red Ridin' Hood
Even bad wolves can be good
I'll try to be satisfied
Just to walk close by your side
Maybe you'll see things my way
Before we get to grandma's place
Little Red Ridin' Hood
You sure are lookin' good
You're everything a big bad wolf could want
AAAAAAOOOOOH I mean Baaah

Strychnine
02:10
|
|||
|
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
But I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
You may think it's funny
That I like this stuff
But once you've tried it
You can't get enough
Wine is red
Poison is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailin' you
Wine is red
Poison is blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailin' you
If you listen to what I say
You'll try strychnine some day
Make you jump, it'll make you shout
It'll even knock you out
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
But I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
Strychnine hey, hey
