“Weird Al” Yankovic - Midnight Star Lyrics

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 passing by
But a paper caught my eye
And I learned a few things I never 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, Midnight Star
It's in the weekly Midnight Star
Aliens from outer space are sleeping in my car
Midnight Star, I want to know, I want to 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 Midnight Star
They're keeping Hitler's brain alive inside a jar
Midnight Star, I want to know, I want to know

Tell me, tell me, tell me how to make my bust-line grow
Midnight Star, I want to 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 want to know, I want to know

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 want to know, I want to know

(Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(Ah, Midnight Star) Inquiring minds like mine want to know

(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
(You can read it, Midnight Star) (Ah, Midnight Star) I want to know, I want to know
