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
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!
You can be a Garbage Pail Kid!
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!
