The Garbage Pail Kids Movie Soundtrack

(Barely) Released by Curb Records in 1987, THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS soundtrack album includes all of the songs from the film, including the kids' production number "(We Can Do Anything By) Working With Each Other." Unfortunately, it doesn't include any of Michael Lloyd's score or Cap'n Manzini's brief musical "send the kids back in the pail" chants. This soundtrack was also issued on CD and cassette, but copies of the album in any format are scarce, with the legitimate CD being virtually impossible to find. A promotional 45 single was also issued featuring "Working With Each Other" and "You Can Be a Garbage Pail Kid."

SELECTED SONG LYRICS

You Can Be a Garbage Pail Kid

Whenever the normies started comin' around

Laughing and pointin' and putting us down

If they think we're ugly, they should look in a mirror

It's not how you look, it's what you got in here

We're all special, so special in unique design

Everyone's a reflection, reflection of these crazy times

If your teacher says you're bad and sends you to the principal

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!

If your parents say you dress like you should be in a carnival

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!

It's international, radical, how anything unusual

Ends up like a Garbage Pail Kid!

You think you're all so brave and oh-so cute

But you don't understand, you try to persecute

Well, here's a pail and here's a lid

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid

I'd take Juice and squeeze him tight and make him pay

For what he does to Dodger, he's gonna have a judgment day!

If your teacher says you're bad and sends you to the principal

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!

If your parents say you dress like you should be in a carnival

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!

It's international, radical, how anything unusual

Ends up like a Garbage Pail Kid!

You think you're all so brave and oh-so cute

But you don't understand, you try to persecute

Well, here's a pail and here's a lid

You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!

ELECTRICITY

Electricity!

Power that takes us higher!

Circuits are close to breakin

Systems are overloadin

We got the current flowin

Power that takes us higher!

Circuits are close to breakin

Systems are overloadin

We got the current flowin

Power that takes us higher!

Circuits are close to breakin

Electricity!

Look out, I've come back again

You don't stand a chance

I'm going to make you mine

My head says to turn away

I said, just play it cool

But my heart's knockin crazy

When will you realize the sparks are gonna fly?

Why can't I remember what you did to make me cry?

Electricity burnin,

Power that takes us higher

We're on fire!

Once more, set me free

Since the circuits are close to breakin

There's no mistakin!

Electricity burnin,

Systems are overloading

We're exploding

Once more, set me free

Since then, we got the current flowin

We're all outgrowin

I don't care how long it takes

I got time to spare

I'm gonna wear you down

If you ever, you don't play fair

I should run for my life

But I'm solid and lazy

You can't deny you feel the high-tech energy

Save me from myself

And from the things you do to me, yeah, yeah!

Electricity burnin,

Power that takes us higher

We're on fire!

Once more, set me free

Since the circuits are close to breakin

There's no mistakin!

Electricity burnin,

Systems are overloading

We're exploding

Once more, set me free

Since then, we got the current flowin

And I'm outgrowin

You can't deny you feel the high-tech energy

Save me from myself

And from the things you do to me, yeah, yeah!

Electricity burnin,

Power that takes us higher

We're on fire!

Once more, set me free

Since the circuits are close to breakin

There's no mistakin!

Electricity burnin,

Systems are overloading

And we're exploding

Once more, set me free

Since then, we got the current flowin

And I'm outgrowin

Electricity burnin,

Power that takes us higher

We're on fire!

Once more, set me free

Since the circuits are close to breakin

There's no mistakin!

Electricity burnin,

Systems are overloadin'

We're exploding

Once more, set me free

Since then, we got the current flowin

And I love flowin'

BIG BIG MAN

Here

Here I stand

Just

Just one man

So small in the universe

But here on earth, I'm a big, big man

Don't

Don't force my hand

Don't

Don't try to take my land

I may be small in the universe

But here on earth, I'm a big, big man

Yeah, well we live by the law of the land

But don't take advice from a company man

Complicated life with your legalized plans

Cross me twice and you'll understand

I'll stand it out for you, if you need it, man

There's an unwritten law that I hold in my hand

Here

Here I stand

Just

Just one man

So small in the universe

But here on earth, I'm a big, big man

Living in the world where the people ain't free

You can lie to yourself but you can't lie to me

Hopping through the door (??) but you can't get enough

Blame it on the world for being too rough

They'll turn on you at destiny's end

When you're standing alone and you can't pretend

Here

Here I stand

Just

Just one man

So small in the universe

But here on earth, I'm a big, big man!

Here on earth, I'm a big, big man!

But here on earth, I'm a big, big man!
