Lyrics[]

  • Lyrics from the 1973 original London stage production:

Janet:
I was feeling done in, couldn't win
I'd only ever kissed before

Rocky and company:
You mean you don't ever kiss?

Janet:
I thought there's no use getting into heavy petting
It only leads to trouble and seat wetting

Now all I want to know is how to go
I've tasted blood and I want more

Rocky and company:
More, more, more!

Janet:
I'll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I've got an itch to scratch, I need assistance

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night

Then if anything grows when you pose
I'll oil you up and rub you down

Rocky y company:
Down, down, down!

Janet:
That's just one small fraction of the main attraction
You need a friendly hand and I need action

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me chill me fulfil me
Creature of the night

Janet (Rocky and company):
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
I wanna be dirty (I really love that rock 'n' roll)
Thrill me chill me fulfil me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
Creature of the night (I really love that rock 'n' roll)

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
I wanna be dirty (I really love that rock 'n' roll)
Thrill me chill me fulfil me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
Creature of the night (I really love that rock 'n' roll)

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
I wanna be dirty (I really love that rock 'n' roll)
Thrill me chill me fulfil me (Hot patootie, bless my soul)
Creature of the night (I really love that rock 'n' roll)

Janet, Rocky and company:
Creature of the night

  • Lyrics from the 2010 Glee episode:

Emma:
I was feeling done in
Couldn't win
I’d only ever kissed before (Brittany: You mean she?) (Santana: Uh huh)

I felt there’s no use getting into heavy sweating
It only leads to trouble and bad fretting
Now all I want to know is how to go
I’ve tasted blood and I want more (Brittany and Santana: More, more, more)

I’ll put up no resistance, I want to stay the distance
I’ve got an itch to scratch, I need assistance

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me, creature of the night

Then if anything shows while you pose
I’ll oil you up and drop you down (Brittany and Santana: Down, down, down)
And that’s just one small fraction
Of the main attraction (Santana: Oh!)
I want a friendly man (Brittany: Oh!)
And I need action

Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me (Brittany and Santana: Ha ha ha ha ha)
I wanna be dirty
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me, creature of the night

Brittany (Santana):
Touch-a touch-a touch-a touch me, (I wanna be dirty)
Thrill me, chill me, fulfil me, (Creature of the night)
Ha ha!
