Dr. Heckyll works late at the laboratory

Where things are not as they seem

Dr. Heckyll wishes nothing more desperately

Than to fulfill all of his dreams

Letting loose with a scream in the dead of night

As he's breaking new ground

Trying his best to unlock all the secrets

But he's not sure what he's found

Dr. Heckyll is his own little guinea pig

'Cos they all think he's mad

Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime

And he's never, never sad



Whoa oh, it's off to work he goes

In the name of science and all its wonders



This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

They are a person who feels good to be alive

This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

Believes the underdog will eventually survive



Not long now till the ultimate experiment

He's breaking all the rules

He wants to cure all matter of imbalance

In this world of fools

He locks the door and he looks around nervously

He knows there's no one there

He drinks it down and waits for some reaction

To all his work and care



Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say

He loves the wo except for all the people



This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

They are a person who feels good to be alive

This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

Believes the underdog will eventually survive



Whoa oh, it's out at night he goes

He slips easily into conversation



Hey hey, he's cool in every way

Sometimes he loves to sing that old black magic



This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

They are a person who feels good to be alive

This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

Believes the underdog will eventually survive



This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

They are a person who feels good to be alive

This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive

Believes the underdog will eventually survive
