DR' FRANK-N-FURTER:
A weakling weighing ninety-eight pounds
Will get sand in his face when kicked to the ground
And soon in the gym with a determined chin
The sweat from his pores as he works for his cause
Will make him glisten and gleam
And with massage and just a little bit of steam
He'll be pink and quite clean
He'll be a strong man, oh, honey!

(But the wrong man)

He'll eat nutritious, high protein
And swallow raw eggs
Try to build up his shoulders
His chest, arms, and legs
Such an effort
If he only knew of my plan
In just seven days

(I can make you a man)

He'll do press-ups and chin-ups
Do the snatch, clean, and jerk
He thinks dynamic tension
Must be hard work
Such strenuous living
I just don't understand
When in just seven days, oh, baby
I can make you a man

REPRISE:


DR. FRANK-N-FURTER:
But a deltoid and a bicep
A hot groin and a tricep
Makes me, Ooh, shake
Makes me wanna take Charles Atlas by the hand
(In just seven days)
Oh, baby
(I can make you a man)
I don't want no dissension
Just dynamic tension

JANET: I'm a muscle fan

(In just seven days)
(I can make you a man)
DR. FRANK-N-FURTER: Dig it if you can
(In just seven days)
(I can make you a man)
