But he's not sure what he's found
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
'Cos they all think he's mad
Dr. Heckyll is his own little guinea pig
Letting loose with a scream in the dead of night
In the name of science and all its wonders
Sets his sights on the search of a lifetime
Hey hey, he's cool in every way
He loves the world except for all the people
They are a person who feels good to be alive
In this world of fools
He knows there's no one there
He's breaking all the rules
They are a person who feels good to be alive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
Not long now till the ultimate experiment
As he's breaking new ground
He drinks it down and waits for some reaction
He wants to cure all matter of imbalance
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
He locks the door and looks around nervously
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
And he's never, never sad
Hey, hey he fumbles for what to say
Dr. Heckyll wishes nothing more desperately
Than to fulfill his dreams
He sips easily into conversation
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
Trying his best to unlock all the secrets
Sometimes he likes to sing that old black magic
Whoa oh, it's off to work he goes
Whoa, oh, it's out at night he goes
This is the story of Dr. Heckyll and Mr. Jive
They are a person who feels good to be alive
Believes the underdog will eventually survive
To all his work and care
