Checkpoint Charlie
On the twenty third day
Of the month of September
In an early year of a decade
Not too long before our own
The human race
Suddenly encountered
A deadly threat
To its very existence
And this terrifying enemy surfaced
As such enemies often do
In the seemingly most innocent
And unlikely of places
Little shop, little shoppa horrors
Little shop, little shoppa terror
Call a cop, little shoppa horrors
No, oh oh, no
Little shop, little shoppa horrors
Bop sh'bop, little shoppa terror
Watch 'em drop, little shoppa horrors
No, oh oh, no
Shing a ling, what a creepy thing to be happening
Shang a lang, feel the strum and rang in the air
Sha la la, stop right where you are don't you move a thing
You better, you better, tellin' you, you better
Tell your mama somethin's gonna get her
She better, everybody better beware
Oh, here it comes, baby
Tell the world, baby oh oh, no
Oh, hit the dirt, baby
Hit the dirt, baby, oh oh, no, oh oh, no
Alley oop, hurry off to school child, I'm warnin' you
Run away, child you gonna pay if you stay, yeah
Look around, somethin's comin' down down the street for you
You betcha, you betcha, you betcha butt, you betcha
Best believe it, somethin's come to get ya
You betcha, you better watch your back in this town
Comma, comma, comma
Little shop, little shoppa horrors
Bop sh'bop, you'll never stop the terror
Little shop, little shoppa horrors
No, oh oh, no, oh oh, no, oh oh, no
