The professor is building
Something extraordinary
From the first signs

Well I knew he would hide it from me
Clang, clang, rattle, and buzz
There's a helicopter blade

And a bit of a truck

He's got no more quality time

To be going on adventures
Spending mornings on black keys
Using the board

Or finding him in places
That have never been sorta brave
Origami full of grace

The professor is mad
And he's working a feverish pace


Diabolical delicious things
Something is bad
And it's something within me


Do you know?
Do you know?

What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see

What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta be

Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me


The professor is building
All kinds of devilish device
There's one part

With a singular bit of light
Bang, crash, glitter, and bug
There's a phonographic needle

And a stereo heart

He's got no plans to make an announcement

No preliminary sketches
Or advice to impart in me
One ounce of jealousy

Fifty-seven gallons juvenile delinquency

Super supremacy

I've gotta find an answer
Gotta fashion a skeleton key
Diabolical delicious deeds

Something's bad
And it's shrouded of secrecy


Do you know?
Do you know?
What is he building in there?

Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?

Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring

Dastardly it's got the best of me

(There are very few dimensions

Three...which we call the three planes of space
And a fourth
Time)


The professor is building
Something extraordinary

Behind bars
And a door he won't open for me
Kind words and the barrel of a gun

Will make him come to grips
Make him face up to what he's done

Do you know?
Do you know?

What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?
Gotta know

Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me

Do you know?

Do you know?
What is he building in there?
Gotta know
Gotta see
What is he building in there?

Gotta know
Gotta be
Something destructively daring
Dastardly it's got the best of me
