Richard O’Brien
Science fiction double feature (punk version)
One, two
One, two, three, four!
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus 1]
Science Fiction, Double Feature.
Dr. X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet,
Oh oh oh ooohh
At the late night, double feature picture show.

And I really got hot
When I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills.
Dana Andrews said prunes

And passing them used lots of skills.
But "When worlds collide",
Said George Pal to his bride
"I'm going to give you some terrible thrills",

[Chorus]
Science Fiction, Double Feature.
Dr. X will build a creature.
See androids fighting Brad and Janet.
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet.
Oh oh oh ooohh
At the late night, double feature picture show,
I want to go,
To the late night double feature picture show,
By RKO,
To the late night, double feature picture show,
In the back row
Oh ooohh
To the late night double feature picture show.
Science Fiction, Double Feature
Frank has built and lost his creature
Darkness has conquered Brad and Janet
The servants gone to a distant planet
[outro]
Oh oh oh ooohh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I wanna go
To the late night, double feature, picture show
In the back row
By RKO
I wanna go
