Shock Treatment Songtext
von Richard O’Brien

I′m not a locum with motive to suture myself
I've been a cynic for too many years
Playing doctor and nurse, it can be good for your health
I′ve seen clinics with those gimmicks in Tangiers

But if you open your heart to a smooth operator
He'll take you for all that you've got
He′ll hand you a curse that′ll be with you later
It'll shake you the way he takes off, like a shot

You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
Need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out mister, don′t you blow your last resistor
For a vista that'll mystify ya


You′re blinded by romance, you're blinded by science
Your condition is critically grave
But don′t expect mercy from such an alliance
Suspicion of traditions, so new wave

You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
Need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out mister, don't you blow your last resistor
For a sister that'll certify ya

You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
Gets you jumping like a real live wire
You need a bit of
Ooh, shock treatment
So look out mister, don′t you blow your last resistor
For a sister that′ll certify ya
