We Like To Be Frightened

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

With your complicated apparatus

In your elaborate laboratory

Doctor Frankenstein won't you create us

Something terrifying for us to see

And ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that takes away our breath

Now ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that scares us half to death

Ooh-ooh-ooh

With your dangerous dental arrangement

In your creepy old crumbling chateau

Count Dracula showed us what "strange" meant

When you started in talking so slow

And ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that takes away our breath

Now ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that scares us half to death

Ooh-ooh-ooh

And when I take my baby to a movie show

It's got to be a horror flick or she won't go

I just want to tell you that it's out of sight

When it starts getting scary and she's holding me tight

(Hold me tight now!)

With your split-personality potion

That covers all your body with hair

Doctor Jekyll, won't you go through the motions

So Mister Hyde can give us a scare?

And ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that takes away our breath

Now ooh, we like to be frightened

We like to see something that scares us half to death

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh
