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 Quiji board
|
Or finding him in 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 light
|
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's 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 four 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 the barrel of a gun
|
Will make him come to grips
|
Make him face up to what he's 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
