Lyrics :

Michael Rennie was ill The Day The Earth Stood Still
But he told us where we stand
Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Rains was The Invisible Man

Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace It Came From Outer Space
And this is how the message ran

Science fiction, double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show, awoo

I knew Leo G. Carrol was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I got really hot when I saw Jeanette Scott
Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills

Dana Andrews said Prunes gave him the Runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But When Worlds Collide, said George Pal to his bride
"I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills", like a

Science fiction, double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Anne Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh-oo-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
At the late night, double feature, picture show
I wanna go, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show,
By RKL, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
To the late night, double feature, picture show
In the back row
To the late night, double feature, picture show...
