Frankenstein

Somethin' must have happened over Manhattan

Who can expound all the children this time?

Did they ever, could they ever

Expect such a Frankenstein, a Frankenstein?

I remember when you were jam, jam, jammin'

You worked at 'em and any of them

There was never nothin' you would ever understand

But you know who was there to be your master

Making his demands and plans

As though he's making his friends

And when those plans they don't mix your style

You get a feeling of your own ordeal

That's when he starts calling you, wow

And you just don't know what to do

So now you come around here

And you're trying to take over the town

Just because of back home, baby

Oh, he puts you down

Oh, baby, how he puts you down

I know they put you down

So now, you're off starting 'round here

Here you ask and your demands

In a place where they don't expect nothing

You're trying not to dirty your hands

We're asking you as a person

Is it a crime? Is it a crime?

For you to fall in love with Frankenstein

Is it wrong? Could it be wrong?

Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend

'Cause you're trying to be so selective

You never realize the whole time

Who's the one you're loving

Misunderstood like a Frankenstein

And down, down, down, just go, just down

Like Frankenstein, like a Frankenstein

So now you're tellin' me

What everytime you can get down home

Well, don't you know there's place, it is my home

So where am I gonna go?

You know when you don't expect nothin'

Know you're not alone, you know you're not alone

'Cause something must have happened over them higher

Who can expound all the children this time?

Did they ever, could they ever

Expect such a Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

And all this shoes are too big

And house jacket's too small

How don't you know Frankenstein, a Frankenstein

We're asking you as a person

Is it a crime? Is it a crime?

For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein

Is it wrong, could it be wrong

Wrong baby, don't you want a friend

Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it

You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein

That's what I'm gonna shout about

You're gonna get it, you're gonna get it

You're gonna get it, from Frankenstein

That's what I'm gonna shout about

I'm gonna scream about, I'm gonna shout about, scream about

Scream about, shout about a Frankenstein

Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Frankenstein, Frankenstein

I've gotta ask you one question

Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?
