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 Blackheath Using a Ouija board Or finding hidden places That had never been sought, I pray 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 [Chorus:] 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 Disastardly it's got the best of me The professor is building All kinds of devilish device Won't part with a singular bit of enlightenment 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 [Chorus] (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 [Chorus x2]
