Midnight Star
by Al Yankovic

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 learend a few things I mever knew before.

It said your pet may be an extra terrestrial;
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, Mignight 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 donuts 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 Mignight 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.

Oh, Midnight Star...
Well, you can read all about in in the weekly Midnight Star.
You can use you ESP to learn to play guitar;
Midnight Star I wanna know, I wanna know.
