Lyrics:

I love to take my baby to a movie show
So I can try to smooch her while the lights are low
But she won't cuddle to a story of romance
There's only one way I've got a chance

It takes the Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein or Dracula
To put her in the mood for love
It takes the Cat Girl, Dog Boy, Creature from the Black Lagoon
To make her feel like making love
It takes a monster from outer space
To make my baby want my embrace
And when I hold her, she's like a dream
If only she can hear somebody scream

She doesn't go for parking down in Lovers' Lane
And lots of moonlight doesn't drive this girl insane
She thinks that dreamy music really is a bore
But I found out what she's looking for

It takes the Batman, Wolfman, Frankenstein or Dracula
To make her tender as can be
It takes the Cat Girl, Dog Boy, Creature from the Black Lagoon
To get her making love with me
If there's a madman whose teeth are curled
Who grows a bedbug that wrecks the world
She gets romantic, it's really quaint
When all the other women start to faint
