Bitchin' in the Kitchen

Music and Lyrics by Richard O'Brien

 

Dear blender, oh won't you help a first offendor
Oh toaster, don't you put the burn on me
Refrigerator, why are we always sooner or later.
Bitchin in the kitchen or cryin' in the bedroom all night.

Dear knife drawer, now won't you help me to face life more
oh trash can, don't you put the dirt on me
Oh percolator, why are we always sooner or later.
Bitchin' in the kitchen, or cryin' in the bedroom all night.

Everything used to be okay, but I've been had
And Brad, I'm glad to say, is on his way.
Micro-digital awaker, why are we always sooner or later
Bitchin' in the kitchen or cryin' in the bedroom all night.

Shower curtain, oh won't you help me to be certain
Toothpaste. Don't you put the squeeze on me.
Depilitator why are we always sooner or later.
Bitchin' in the kitchen or cryin' in the bedroom all night.
Tell me, spectator, why are we always sooner or later?
Bitchin' in the kitchen or cryin' in the bedroom all night.
