Once they killed his monster when it went into a trap
Now he's making better ones on a higher step

On a warm summer day the doctor went away
To a place where he could make it real
His assistant's hips were nice so he cloned her once or twice
Now his hips are aching what a deal

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's them run into the night
They become great rock musicians and their time is right, time is right

Sometimes when he's feeling bored, he's calling it a day
He's got his computer and they do it their own way

They mix some DNA, some skin and certain spray
You can watch it on a laser screen
And the fellow's blue and gray or sometimes pink and green
Just check it out on Halloween

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's them run into the night
They become great politicians and their time is right

One night he cloned himself, put his brother on a shelf
But when he fell asleep that night
It crept up from behind and thought, "well never mind"
Took a syringe and blew out his life

Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's hem run into the night
They become a great possession and their time is right
Dr. Stein grows funny creatures, let's hem run into the night
They become a great oppression and their time is right
Time is right, time is right, time is right
