Let’s do the Time Warp again! So many film fanatics relish The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) every year, particularly at Halloween, and there is nothing like seeing this iconic, cult classic with a theater full of people. Participation is the name of the game and it is an exhilarating experience whether you’ve seen Rocky Horror 20 or 200 times.
A new generation of movie fans are discovering TRHPS. And to those newbies, we bid you welcome. Rocky Horror is not only a movie musical, it is a family. It’s not unlike Thanksgiving or Christmas when you happily ruminate about gathering together with loved ones to celebrate that special time of the year – typically, All Hallows’ Eve.
This is the first in a series of Fearsome Fact entries dedicated to successfully participating at Rocky Horror motion picture events around the world. Bless the 1973 source material, but we are going to focus on the film and not the play for the time being.
Whether you are a seasoned veteran or TRHPS virgin, the purpose of this initial article is to maximize your enjoyment at Rocky Horror midnight shows by familiarizing yourself with the lyrics to all of Richard O’Brien’s musical masterpieces. Videos from the film or movie soundtrack follow each entry, so you can practice singing the lyrics to all of O’Brien’s songs.
Here are the lyrics to the music of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
1. Science Fiction/Double Feature
There is no time to dilly-dally or shilly-shally as participation begins with the first song Science Fiction/Double Feature. The lyrics are performed by TRHPS creator Richard O’Brien but the giant lips clad in red lipstick are those of Patricia Quinn aka Magenta who is lip-syncing.
LYRICS
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…
Science fiction (ooh ooh ooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooh ooh ooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooh ooh ooh) Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in (ooh ooh ooh) Forbidden Planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I knew Leo G. Carroll
Was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot
When I saw Janette 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…
Science fiction (ooh ooh ooh) double feature
Doctor X (ooh ooh ooh) will build a creature
See androids fighting (ooh ooh ooh) Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in (ooh ooh ooh) Forbidden Planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I wanna go – Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show
By R.K.O. – Wo oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show
In the back row – Oh oh oh oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show

Brad and Janet are lucky as Riff Raff (Richard O’Brien) answers the door and shelters the young couple from the inclement weather. Brad and Janet have arrived on a rather special night as the master is having one of his affairs.
LYRICS
Riff Raff : It’s astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Magenta: Not for very much longer
Riff Raff: I’ve got to keep control…

Drinking those moments when
The blackness would hit me
Riff and Magenta: And the void would be calling

Let’s do the Time Warp again

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

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

Let’s do the Time Warp again
Columbia: Well I was walking down the street
Just a having a think

Time meant nothing, never would again

5. Sweet Transvestite
Dr. Frank-N-Furter (Tim Curry) sure knows how to make an entrance as Brad and Janet meet their hospitable host. Janet passes out when she gazes upon the sweet transvestite from Transsexual Transylvania. But there was no need for her to worry because Brad was there, right?
LYRICS
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 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 just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, 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 Steeve 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
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 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…
…Why don’t you stay for the night
Riff Raff: Night!
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: Or maybe a bite
Columbia: Bite!
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: I could show you my favorite obsession
I’ve been making a man
With blonde hair and a tan
And he’s good for relieving my tension
I’m just a sweet transvestite
From Transexual, Transylvania
Hit it! Hit it!
I’m just a sweet transvestite
Chorus: Sweet Transvestite!
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: From Transexual
Chorus: Transylvania
Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 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

6. Sword of Damocles
Frank’s beautiful creature is born as Brad and Janet watch helplessly. But Rocky Horror (Peter Hinwood) is quite disconcerted with both his birth and creator. Indeed, Rocky is at the start of a pretty big downer.
LYRICS
Rocky: The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I’ve got the feeling 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
Chorus That ain’t no crime
Rocky: And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread
Chorus: That ain’t no crime

I’m dressed up with no place to go

7. I Can Make You a Man
Frank is elated with his new creation, and the mad scientist has plans for his Adonis-like companion. But things take an unsuspected turn when the delivery boy Eddie (Meatloaf) crashes both the song and party.
LYRICS
Frank-N-Furter: 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!
Chorus: But the wrong man
Frank-N-Furter: 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
Chorus: I can make you a man
Frank-N-Furter: 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
Oh, baby
I can make you a man

8. Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul
Columbia (Little Neal) seems to be the only one happy to see Eddie. In fact, Frank-N-Furter is so annoyed by his unexpected guest that he kindly “axes” Eddie to leave.
LYRICS
Eddie: Whatever happened to Saturday night?
When you dressed up sharp and you felt alright
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 and Roll show
We climbed in the back seat, really had a good time
Hot patootie, bless my soul
Really love that Rock and Roll
Chorus: Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Eddie: My head used to swim from the perfume I smelled
My hands kinda fumbled with her white plastic belt
I’d taste her baby pink lipstick and that’s when I’d melt
She’d whisper in my ear tonight she really was mine
Get back in front and put some hair oil on
Buddy Holly was singing his very last song
With your arms around your girl, you try to sing along
It felt pretty good…Whoo!
Really had a good time
Hot patootie, bless my soul
Really love that Rock and Roll
Chorus: Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll
Hot patootie, bless my soul
I really love that Rock and Roll

LYRICS
Janet: I was feeling done in
Couldn’t win
I’d only ever kissed before
Columbia You mean she?

Janet: I’ll 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

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!

Of the main attraction

Dr. Everett Scott (Jonathan Adams) arrives in search of his nephew Eddie, but soon discovers that the delivery boy has been murdered. What’s for dinner? Meatloaf!
LYRICS
Dr. Scott: From the day he was born
He was trouble
He was the thorn
In his mother’s side
She tried in vain
Criminologist: But he never caused her nothing but shame
Dr. Scott: He left home the day she died
From the day she was gone
All he wanted
Was rock and roll porn
And a motorbike
Shooting up junk
Criminologist: He was a low down cheap little punk
Dr. Scott: Taking everyone for a ride
Chorus: When Eddie said he didn’t like his teddy
You knew he was a no good kid
But when he threatened your life
With a switch blade knife
Frank-N-Furter: What a guy
Janet: Makes you cry
Dr. Scott: And 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’ve been drawn
Into something
Making him warn me
In a note which reads
Chorus: What’s it say? What’s it say?
Eddie: I’m out of my head
Oh hurry, or I may be dead
They mustn’t carry out their evil deeds
Chorus: When Eddie said he didn’t like his teddy

12. Planet Schmanet, Janet
The tether is cut and the mad dog is off the chain as Frank-N-Furter finally snaps. In his rage at Janet defiling his beautiful creature, Frank takes Janet, Brad, Dr. Scott, Rocky and Columbia all prisoner. The floor show awaits!
LYRICS
Frank-N-Furter: I’ll tell you once
I won’t tell you twice
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss
Your apple pie don’t taste too nice
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss
I’ve laid the seed, it should be all you need
You’re as sensual as a pencil
Wound up like an ‘E’ or first string
When we made it, did you hear a bell ring?
You got a block, well take my advice
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss
The Transducer will seduce ya
Janet: My feet! I can’t move my feet!
Dr. Scott: My wheels! My God, I can’t move my wheels!
Brad: It’s as if we’re glued to the spot!
Frank-N-Furter: You are! So quake with fear, you tiny fools!
Janet: Oh, we’re trapped!
Frank-N-Furter: It’s something you’ll get used to
A mental mind-fu$% can be nice
Dr. Scott: You won’t find Earth people quite the easy mark you imagine
This sonic transducer – it is, I suppose, some kind of
Audio-vibratory, physiomolecular transport device
Brad: You mean
Dr. Scott: Yes, Brad
It’s something we ourselves have been working on for quite some time
But it seems our friend here has found a means of perfecting it
A device which is capable of breaking down solid matter and then
Projecting it through space, and who knows, perhaps even time itself
Janet: You mean, he’s gonna send us to another planet?
Frank-N-Furter: Planet, schmanet, Janet!
You’d better wise up, Janet Weiss
You’d better wise up
Build your thighs up
You’d better wise up
Criminologist: And then she cried out
Janet: Stop!
Frank-N-Furter: Don’t get hot and flustered, use a bit of mustard
Brad: You’re a hot dog, but you better not try to hurt her,
Frank Furter.
Dr. Scott: You’re a hot dog, but you’d better not try to hurt her,
Frank Furter.
Janet: You’re a hot dog…

Frank-N-Furter directs, and also performs with Rocky, Janet, Brad, Dr. Scott and Columbia in the vaunted floor show. This is a wonderful nine-minute sequence consisting of three songs: Rose Tint My World, Don’t Dream It and Wild and Untamed Thing. If you’re a Rocky Horror virgin, hang in there. This is where your singing voice is liable to crack.
LYRICS
I.
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
Keeps me safe from my trouble and pain
Rocky: I am 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 this, let’s see
I feel sexy
What’s come over me?
Woo! 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
II.
Frank-N-Furter: 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. Whoa ho ho!
Don’t dream it, be it
Don’t dream it, be it
Chorus: Don’t dream it, be it
Don’t dream it, be it
Don’t dream it, be it
Don’t dream it, be it
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
Frank-N-Furter: Don’t dream it, be it
Brad: It’s beyond me
Help me, Mommy
Janet: God bless Lili St. Cyr
