I was waiting in the express lane with my twelve items or less
At the checkout counter at the local grocery store
I was only passin' by

But a paper caught my eye
And I learned a few things I never knew before


It said your pet may be an extra-terrestrial
It said the ghost of Elvis is living in my den
You can learn to cope with stress

You can beat the IRS
And the incredible frog boy is on the loose again


Oh, Midnight Star
It's in the weekly Midnight Star
Aliens from outer space are sleeping in my car

Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know

Eat jelly doughnuts and lose twenty pounds a day

Hear the story of the man born without a head
And top psychics all agree
That the telephone company

Will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead

Oh, Midnight Star

You can believe it if you read it in the weekly Midnight Star
They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know


(Tell me, tell me, tell me how to make my bust-line grow)
Midnight Star, I wanna know


Oh, Midnight Star
Well, don't you know that I read it, I read it in the weekly Midnight Star

The UFOs have landed and we'll tell you where they are
Midnight Star, I wanna know, I wanna know


Midnight Star
Well, you can read all about in in the weekly Midnight Star
You can use you ESP to learn to play guitar

Midnight Star I wanna know, I wanna know

(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know

(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know
(Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I wanna know
(Ah, Midnight Star) Inquiring minds like mine wanna know


(You can read it {x5}, Midnight Star {x2}) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I
wanna know

(You can read it {x5}, Midnight Star {x2}) (Ah, Midnight Star) I wanna know, I
wanna know
