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 truckHe'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 braveOrigami 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 meDo 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 meThe 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 heartHe'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 delinquencySuper supremacy, I've gotta find an answer
Gotta fashion a skeleton key
Diabolical, delicious deeds
Something is bad and it's shrouded of secrecyDo 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 meThere are really few dimensions
Three, which we call the three planes of space
And a fourth, timeThe 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 doneDo 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 meDo 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
