Science fiction double feature
View chords used in this chart
D C
Michael Rennie was ill the day the Earth stood still
Bb A
But he told us where we stand
And 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
And at a deadly pace it came from outer space
And this is how the message ran
G A D Bm
It's a science fiction double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
G
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
G A D
At the late night double feature picture show
I knew Leo G. Carrol was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Jeanette Scott
Fight a triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Rand said prunes, and they gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But when worlds collide said George Pal to his bride
I'm going to give you some terrible thrills
Like a science fiction double feature
Doctor X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Wo oh oh oh oh oh
At the late night double feature picture show
I wanna go, oh oh oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
By RKO, oh oh oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
In the back row, oh oh oh oh
To the late night double feature picture show
