Tales of fright in the dark of night
Monster movies in black and white
It gives me thrills when I get the chills
From sci-fi/horror night double bills

Universal or RKO
You can find me sitting in the front row
I just can't wait
For the midnight picture show

I can't wait to go there tonight
The clock is ticking
But I'm still burning the daylight
I'm gonna make sure everything's right
When I go there tonight

For a matinee fee what I wanna see
Is the creature fighting dracula in 3-D
The crawling hand of Charlie Chan
Or the Mummy meets the invisible man

There in a darkened room
The silver screen will shine
Stars of a bygone age
Come back to play one last time
