WEIRD AL YANKOVIC LYRICS - Midnight Star

"Midnight Star"



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 extraterrestrial

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 your ESP to learn to play guitar

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

(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

(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
