Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon Lyrics

[Intro]
You better ask my mama how to make a monster

[Verse 1]
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon
I'm a beautiful monster from outer space, too
Learned how to shake my hips in the inner sanctum
Satan gave me tips and then I thanked him
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Chorus]
Yeah, black, black, black, black leather
Smash smash, black, black leather
Kill, kill, black, black leather
Crash, crash, black, black leather
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Verse 2]
I'm a chicken-fried, fire-eating son of a gun
Conceived by my devil daddy on a chicken run
Like a fireball flying down thunder road
Daddy made mama but she shoulda said no
I'm a rawhide monster they named Number One

[Chorus]
Yeah, black, black, black, black leather
Smash smash, black, black leather
Kill, kill, black, black leather
Crash, crash, black, black leather
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Solo]
Ah, ah
Yeah

[Verse 3]
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon
I'm a genuine juvenile delinquent from the moon
I'm like a hundred billion hydrogen bombs
Mama wanted a goat, but I got mom's
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Chorus]
Yeah, black, black, black, black leather
Smash smash, black, black leather
Kill, kill, black, black leather
Crash, crash, black, black leather
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Chorus]
Yeah, black, black, black, black leather
Smash smash, black, black leather
Kill, kill, black, black leather
Crash, crash, black, black leather
I'm the creature from the black leather lagoon

[Outro]
Lagoon, ah

Genius Annotation

“Creature from the Black Leather Lagoon” is a song off the Cramps' 1989 studio album Stay Sick!

The song title is a reference to the 1954 classic horror film Creature from the Black Lagoon, a theme commonly found throughout the band’s other works.

The song comes from the speaker’s perspective, comparing himself and his behavior to that of a monster as a result of his parents' rocky relationship and conception of him and the effect of that on his upbringing.
