Elvira :Turn Out The Lights
ELVIRA — TURN OUT THE LIGHTS DJ DR LOVE — 007 FM [Intro — Elvira, spoken] Elvira. The seat isn't haunted. I'm saving it. Dr Love, over here. And tell that bartender— I can see just fine in the dark. Let's go. [Hook — Elvira and Dr Love] Turn out the lights, let the red ones glow! Black dress moving where the big bass rolls! Whole club jumping, but we might leave soon, Got a little more night and a big bright moon! Turn out the lights, let the synth get wild! She said, "Don't talk spooky if you scare real mild!" 007, let the scratch cut tight, Elvira got plans for the rest of the night! [Verse 1 — Dr Love] Saw the black hair first over everybody's head, Then a long dark dress with a lining blood-red. Sitting at the bar like she knew the whole staff, Said, "Your friend Dracula already left with his date." Told her, "He's got a schedule." She said, "Don't we all?" Then she pointed at the dance floor running wall to wall. "I saw you with that cane. Does it come with a routine?" Said, "Only when the DJ puts a little kick in things." She stood up slow, let me offer my hand, Then she walked right past, said, "Try to keep up, man." Had the crowd parting with a tilt of her chin, Turned around laughing, waved me right on in. Took the center of the line when the snare cracked loud, Made a little shoulder move that electrified the crowd. [Hook — Elvira and Dr Love] Turn out the lights, let the red ones glow! Black dress moving where the big bass rolls! Whole club jumping, but we might leave soon, Got a little more night and a big bright moon! Turn out the lights, let the synth get wild! She said, "Don't talk spooky if you scare real mild!" 007, let the scratch cut tight, Elvira got plans for the rest of the night! [Verse 2 — Elvira, rhythmic rap] I don't need a broom when the car outside, Don't need a crystal ball to know you want a ride. You been looking at the clock like you're missing a clue, I said, "The party ends when I decide I'm through." Got a little place with a view of the street, Got a record you might like with a dangerous beat. We can order something late, put the shoes by the door, See if you can hold a conversation off the floor. He said, "Sounds good." Told him, "Don't get ahead. I said music and a meal. Hear the words I said." He laughed, "Yes, ma'am," with his hands held high, Then he got my coat while I told my girls goodbye. Left before closing, heard the doorman shout, "Already?" Told him, "We got another playlist out." At home, overhead light made the room too bright, Told him, "Hit that little switch. Keep the lamp on right." [Scratch Break] El-El-Elvira! Lights-lights out! Red-red glow! Bass-bass loud! [Bridge — spoken exchange] "You afraid of the dark?" "Depends who's asking." "I'm asking." "Then leave that little lamp." "Smart answer, Dr Love." "Now where's that record?" [Final Hook] Turn out the lights, let the red ones glow! Black dress moving where the big bass rolls! Whole club jumping, but we might leave soon, Got a little more night and a big bright moon! Turn out the lights, let the synth get wild! She said, "Don't talk spooky if you scare real mild!" 007, let the scratch cut tight, Elvira got plans for the rest of the night! Turn out the lights, let the little lamp stay! Got a brand-new record and some food on the way! Club still rocking, we can hear it downtown, But we got our own little speakers turned loud! Turn out the lights, let the whole beat bite! Nobody rushing where we're going tonight! 007, let the scratch cut tight, Elvira got plans for the rest of the night! [Outro — Elvira] Now that's better. A little atmosphere. A good record. And somebody who listens. 007 FM.
