Frankenstein (original) Songtext
von New York Dolls

Something must have happened over Manhattan
Who can have spawned all the children this time?
Did they ever, could they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein
A Frankenstein

I remember when you were children
You were better than any man
There was never nothing you would ever understand
But you knew who was better being master
Making his demented plans
He′s always making his plans
And when those plans they don't fit your style
You get a feeling of your own ordeal
That′s when he starts calling you out
When you just don't know what to do


So now you come around here
And you're trying to take over the town
Just because you′re back home, baby
How they put you down
Oh, baby, how they put you down
I know they put you down

So now you′re off starting 'round here
With your list of your demands
In a place where they don′t expect nothing
You're trying not to dirty your hands
Well, I′m asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime?
For you to fall in love with Frankenstein
Is it wrong, could it be wrong?
Wrong, baby, don't you want a friend

′Cause you're trying to be so selective
You never realize the whole time
Who's the one you′re loving
Misunderstood like a Frankenstein
And got let down just a bit disturbed
Like Frankenstein, like a Frankenstein


So now you′re telling me
When anytime you can get on home
Well, don't you know this place here is my home
So where am I gonna go?
You know, when you don′t expect nothing
No, you're not alone, you know you′re not alone
'Cause something must have happened over Manhattan
Who could have spawned all the children this time?

Did they ever, did they ever
Expect such a Frankenstein
A Frankenstein
My Frankenstein

I howl these shoes are too big
I howl this jacket′s too small
I'll show you you're Frankenstein
Frankenstein of us all

Well, I′m asking you as a person
Is it a crime, is it a crime
For you to fall in love in with Frankenstein?
Is it wrong, could it be wrong?
Baby, don′t you want a friend
Well, Frankenstein, oh, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein

Roll over Frankenstein
Frankenstein, Frankenstein
You're gonna get it, you′re gonna get it
You're gonna get it when Frankenstein gets home
You′re gonna get it, you're gonna get it
You′re gonna get it when Frankenstein gets home
I'm gonna shout about, I'm gonna scream about

I′m gonna shout about, bitch about it
Scream about, shout about it
Frankenstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein
Frankenstein

Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Frankenstein

Frankenstein
Frankenstein
Frankenstein
I′ve gotta ask you one question
Do you think that you could make it with Frankenstein?
