Little Black Dress Lyrics by Richard O’Brien

Shock Treatment (The Original Soundtrack)

0

[Verse 1: Cosmo]
Ever since I was a little boy
Dressing up has always been my greatest joy
But when it's time to be discreet
There's one thing you just can't beat
And that's a strapless, backless, classical
Little black dress
[Chorus: Cosmo]
Well, first you go rip, rip, rip
Then you go snip, snip, snip
Then you whip in a zip, zip, zip
And split it up to the hip, hip, hip
And as you strip, strip, strip
You shiver and quiver
For that soft caress
As you slip, slip, slip
Into that little black dress
[Verse 2: Bert]
Ever since I was the einem kleinen herren
It was the cordon bleu for which I am most caring
And the one taste treat so sweet
That really can't be beat
Is what we have here, how you are, caviar
That little black mess
[Chorus: Janet]
Well, first you go rip, rip, rip
Then you go snip, snip, snip
Then you whip in a zip, zip, zip
Split it up to the hip, hip, hip
And as you strip, strip, strip
Oh, you quiver and shiver
For that soft caress
As you slip, slip, slip
Into that little black dress
[Alternate Chorus: Janet, (All)]
That minimal (Minimal)
Criminal (Criminal)
Sin-iful little black dress!
[Bridge: Nation, Bert]
Let's face it, mac, that basic black is coming back
Let's face it, mac, that basic black is coming back
Let's face it, mac, that basic black is coming back!
[Alternate Chorus: Janet, (All)]
That minimal (Minimal)
Criminal (Criminal)
Sin-iful little black dress!
