Don’t Stop Me Now
As sung by Luther and the Rogues
(Luther comes bolting out of the phone booth, shoving past the Rogues to get to the car. He’s practically vibrating, he’s so full of energy) As sung by Luther and the Rogues
Cropsey: Well?
(Luther scrambles around tearing off his vest, I know ladies, sexyyy)
Luther: Some two-bit outfit almost got them, but they bopped their way past!
Cropsey: We can meet them at the 96th St. station.
(Luther yanks on a hoodie)
Luther: Platform’s probably crawling with cops!
Cropsey: Cops are trying to rack up every gang in this town!
(Luther pulls his vest back on, clearly undisturbed)
Luther: Yeah, me and you included!
Crospey: How come you're so happy about this?
(He pauses in his rapture to look at Cropsey blankly, with his usual ‘you-are-a-moron’ stare.)
Luther: I'm having a good time! (He looks at the other Rogues and punches Cropsey the stomach) Let’s go!
(The Rogues shout their enthusiasm and pile into the hearse, Luther however lingers outside, hangs in the pocket of his hoodie. To the astonishment of the Rogues, mainly Cropsey, he starts singing)
Luther: Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel ali-i-i-ive!
Cropsey: Where’s that music coming from?
Luther: Can it!
…And the world it's turning inside out, yeah! (He climbs onto the roof of the hearse and sits down as it drives away)
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So…
Rogues (w/o Cropsey): Don’t stop me now!
Don’t stop me!
(Luther bangs on the roof of the hearse, prompting Cropsey to speed up)
Luther (w/ Rogues): 'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time!
(As the car speeds down the empty street, Luther holds out his arms like he’s flying, meanwhile Cropsey is still looking around for the source of the music and wondering how everyone but him knows the lyrics)
Luther: I'm a shooting star leaping through the skies,
Like a tiger, defying the laws of gravity,
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva!
I'm gonna go, go, go!
There's no stopping me-e-e-e!
I'm burning through the skies, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelin’ at the speed of light
(The hearse drives by Swan, Luther makes a gun with his thumb and pointer finger and mimes pulling the trigger)
(w/ the Rogues) I wanna make a supersonic man of you!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: I'm having such a good time,
I'm having a ball!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: 'Cause I'm having a good time!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
(The car hits a pothole, sending Luther sprawling onto the hood, nevertheless he keeps singing to Cropsey’s astonishment)
Luther: Yes I'm having a good time
I don't want to stop at all, yeah!
(He climbs down to sit in the open window of the passenger seat, holding onto the roof)
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars,
On a collision course,
I am a satellite, I'm out of control,
I am a sex machine ready to reload,
Like an atom bomb about to-
(w/ Rogues) Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode!
(The car hits a bump and is airborne for a brief second, Luther once again nearly falls out and Cropsey has to grab his ankle to keep him steady, while driving with the other hand. Luther nonchalantly continues singing)
I'm burning through the skies, yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelin’ at the speed of light
(The hearse pauses by the candy store)
(w/ the Rogues) I wanna make a supersonic woman of you!
(He makes a sexually rude gesture at her. The girl behind the counter flips him the bird and Luther waves her off before the car moves on)
Rogues: Don't stop me, don't stop me don't stop me
Luther: Hey, hey, hey!
Rogues: Don't stop me, don't stop me
Ooh, ooh, ooh!
Luther: I like it!
Rogues: Don't stop me, don’t stop me!
Luther: Have a good time good time!
Rogues: Don't stop me, don't stop me!
Luther (w/ Rogues): Awwwwwww yeah!
(Cropsey finally decides to join in, driving with his knees while doing an amazing guitar solo. Where he got the guitar from and how he knew how to play it is still a complete mystery, but he throws it out the window when he’s done, knocking out an old lady)
Luther: I'm burning through the skies Yeah!
Two hundred degrees
That's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm trav'ling at the speed of light
(He hops back in the car and points at Cropsey)
I wanna make a supersonic woman of youuuuu!
(Cropsey looks bewildered and mildly digusted, Luther shrugs and continues singing with the Rogues)
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
(Luther can’t keep still, dancing in his seat)
Luther: I'm having such a good time,
I'm having a ball!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: If you wanna have a good time, just give me a call!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: 'Cause I'm having a good time!
Rogues: Don't stop me now!
Luther: Yes I'm having a good time
I don't want to stop at all!
(The music finally begins to fade, with Luther ‘la-la-la-ing’ to it before it fades completely. It is now dead silent in the vehicle.)
Cropsey: You, uh, got a lovely voice, Luther.
Luther: Damn it, Cropsey! Why do you have to make everything so damn weird?! (Smack!)
Cropsey: Owww!
(The hearse drives off towards the rising sun towards Coney Island)
