Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive
by Men at Work

Dr Hekyll works late at the laboratory,
Where things are not as they seem
Dr Hekyll wishes nothing more desperately,
Than to fulfill all his dreams
All alone with a scream in the dead of night,
as he's breaking new ground
Trying his best to unlock all the secrets,
But he's not sure what he's found
Dr Hekyll's his own little guinea pig,
'Cause they all think he's mad
Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime,
and he's never never sad
Whoa-ho, it's off to work he goes,
In the name of science and all its wonder

This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
They are a person who feels good to be alive,
This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
Believes the underdog will eventually survive

Not long now to the ultimate experiment,
He's breakin' all the rules
He wants to cure all manner of imbalances,
In this world of fools
He locks the door and he looks around nervously,
He knows there's no one there
He drinks it down and waits for some reaction
To all his work and care
Hey-hey, he fumbles for what to say,
He loves the world except for all the people

This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
They are a person who feels good to be alive,
This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
Belives the underdog will eventually survive

Whoa-ho, it's out at night he goes,
He slips easily into conversation
Hey-hey, he's cool in every way,
Sometimes he loves to sing "That old Black Magic"

This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
They are a person who feels good to be alive,
This is the story of Dr Hekyll and Mr Jive,
Belives the underdog will eventually survive
