Lullaby is a song from the film Shock Treatment, with lyrics and music by Richard O'Brien and Richard Hartley, released in 1981 on the film album.
Several songs from the film were originally written for Rocky Horror Shows His Heels, a never-made sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The songs were rewritten for the never-made The Brad and Janet Show and once again for Shock Treatment. Some of these songs also appeared in the 2015 musical Shock Treatment: The Musical.
Lyrics[]
Nation (Cosmo):
I feel the heat from your skin
And the stubble on your chin
You're no good (You're no good)
You've got dirt on your hands
And everybody understands
You're no good (Mmmm...you're no good)
Oh, what a joke (What a joke)
You feel like choking
You play for broke (You play for broke)
He'll leave you smoking
Cosmo:
Oh, romance is not a children's game
Nation:
But you keep going back
It's driving you insane
Janet:
Drift into the Treacle deep
Slip into its silent depths - go to sleep
With your everything akimbo
Float into the sandman's limbo
Ansalong (Ricky):
Night night (Night night)
It's time for bye-byes
It's been a great day, thanks a heap
Now it's time for everyone to go to sleep
All:
Night night
It's time for bye-byes
It's been a great day, thanks a heap
Now it's time for everyone to go to sleep
