Waking the Monster

The professor is building something extraordinary From the first signs, well, I knew he would hide it from me Clang, clang, rattle and buzz There's a helicopter blade and a bit of a truck He's got no more quality time to be going on adventures Spending mornings on black keys Using a weegie board or finding hidden places That have never been sorta brave Origami full of grace The professor is mad and he's working a feverish pace Diabolical, delicious things Something is bad and it's something within me Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring Dastardly, it's got the best of me The professor is building all kinds of devilish device There's one part with a singular bit of delight And bang, crash, glitter and bug There's a phonographic needle and a stereo heart He's got no plans to make an announcement No preliminary sketches or advice to impart in me One ounce of jealousy Fifty seven gallons juvenile delinquency Super supremacy, I've gotta find an answer Gotta fashion a skeleton key Diabolical, delicious deeds Something is bad and it's shrouded of secrecy Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring Dastardly, it's got the best of me There are really few dimensions Three, which we call the three planes of space And a fourth, time The professor is building something extraordinary Behind bars and a door he won't open for me Kind words and a barrel of a gun will make him come to grips Make him face up to what he has done Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring Dastardly, it's got the best of me Do you know? Do you know? What is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta see, what is he building in there? Gotta know, gotta be something destructively daring Dastardly, it's got the best of me
