Time machine jive Time machine jive
Time machine jive Time machine jive

You better look out
Look out your window tonight
There’ll be a hot cat on your tin roof
Layin’ it loose

There’ll be a full band
To give me a hand
The moon will be a spotlight
For this one-night stand

You better look out
Look out your window tonight

You gotta reach out
And try to grab my glitter suit
Snatch your hand full of stars
Take a trip in my seven league boots

Come silver surfin’
You’ll know you had a ride
My star-treck music’s gonna take me high
You better look out
Look out your window tonight

Time machine jive Time machine jive

Dimensional intentional sensual
Immeasurable pleasurable hitch a ride

Don’t leave it too late
Or you won’t get a ticket on my cruise
Don’t be the last one
Or else you’ll have to light the fuse

You can’t afford not
To be on board
Come on baby
Hear the music that’s calling
And look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)
You better look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)
Look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)
You better look out look out your window tonight (Time machine jive Time machine jive)
