The Rocky Horror Picture Show
Michael Rennie was ill
But he told us where we stand
In silver underwear
Claude Rains was the lnvisible Man
Then something went wrong
For Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace
It came from outer space
And this is how the message ran

I knew Leo G. Carrol
Was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot
When I saw Janette Scott
Fight a Triffid that
Spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes
Gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But when worlds collide
Said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you
Some terrible thrills

Here they come.
I'd like the parents
and the grandparents.
Yes, all the close family.
Smile! Hold fast. Beautiful!
Congratulations.
Well. . . .
I guess we really did it, huh?
You and Betty have been inseparable. . .
. . .since you met in
Dr. Scott's courses.
Tell you the truth, Brad, she was the
only reason I came in the first place.
I mean--
Okay, guys, this is it!
You ready?
Look, Betty's gonna throw her bouquet.
I got it!
-I got it!
-Hey, big fella.
Looks like it could be
your turn next.
Who knows.
So long.
See you, Brad.
Come on, hop in.
See you, Brad.
Brad, wasn't it wonderful?
Didn't Betty look radiantly beautiful?
Just an hour ago she was
plain old Betty Munroe.
And now she's Mrs. Ralph Hapschatt.
-Yes, Janet. Ralph's a lucky guy.
-Yes.
Oh, I always cry at weddings.
Everyone knows Betty's
Yes.
Ralph will be in line
for promotion in a year.
Yes.
-Hey, Janet.
-Yes, Brad?
I've got something to say.
I really loved
The skillful way
You beat the other girls
To the bride's bouquet
Oh, Brad.
-The river was deep but I swam it
-Janet
-The future is ours, so let's plan it
-Janet
-So please don 't tell me to can it
-Janet
I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet
I love you
-The road was long but I ran it
-Janet
-A fire's in my heart and you fan it
-Janet
-There's one fool for you and I am it
-Janet
I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet
I love you
Here's a ring to prove
That I'm no joker
There's three ways
That love can grow
That's good, bad
Or mediocre
Oh, J-A-N-E-
I love you so
-Oh, it's nicer than Betty Munroe had
-Oh, Brad
-Now we're engaged and I'm so glad
-Oh, Brad
-That you met Mom and you know Dad
-Oh, Brad
I've one thing to say and that's
Brad, I'm mad
For you too
Oh, Brad
Oh, damn it
I'm mad
Oh, Janet
For you
I love you too
There's one thing left to do
Ah-ooh
-And that's go see the man who began it
-Janet
-When we met in his science, exam it
-Janet
-Made me give you the eye, then panic
-Janet
Now I've one thing to say and that's
Damn it, Janet
I love you
Damn it, Janet
Oh, Brad, I'm mad
Damn it, Janet
I love you
I would like, if I may. . .
. . .to take you on a strange journey.
It seemed a fairly ordinary night. . .
. . .when Brad Majors and
his fiance, Janet Weiss. . .
. . .two young, ordinary,
healthy kids. . .
. . .Ieft Denton that
late November evening. . .
. . .to visit a Dr. Everett Scott. . .
. . .ex-tutor and now friend
to both of them.
It's true there were
dark storm clouds. . .
. . .heavy, black and pendulous. . .
. . .toward which they were driving.
It's true also that the spare tire
they carried. . .
. . .was badly in need of some air.
But they, being normal kids and. . .
. . .on a night out. . .
. . .they were not going to let a storm
spoil the events of their evening.
On a night out.
It was a night out. . .
. . .they were going to remember. . .
. . .for a very long time.
I have never been a quitter.
To leave office before my term
is completed is abhorrent...
... to every instinct in my body.
But as president...
...l must put the interests
ofAmerica first.
America needs a full-time president...
...and a full-time Congress...
...particularly at this time....
Gosh, that's the third motorcyclist
that's passed us.
They sure do take their lives
in their hands.
Yes, Janet. Life's pretty cheap
to that type.
What's the matter, Brad, darling?
We took the wrong fork
a few miles back.
Oh.
Where did that motorcyclist come from?
I guess we'll just have to turn back.
What was that bang?
We must have a blowout.
Damn it! I knew I should've gotten
that spare tire fixed.
You stay here and I'll go for help.
We're in the middle of nowhere.
Didn't we pass a castle
a few miles back?
Maybe they have a telephone
I could use.
I'm going too.
-Both of us don't need to get wet.
-I'm coming with you.
Besides, the owner of that phone
might be a beautiful woman. . .
. . .and you might never
come back again.
In the velvet darkness
Of the blackest night
Burning bright
There's a guiding star
No matter what
Or...
... who you are
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light, light
In the darkness
Of everybody's life
The darkness must go
Down the river
Of nights dreaming
Flow morphia slow
Let the sun
And light come streaming
Into my life
Into my life
There's a light
Over at the Frankenstein place
There's a light
Burning in the fireplace
There's a light
Light
In the darkness
Of everybody's life
And so. . .
. . .it seemed that fortune
had smiled on Brad and Janet. . .
. . .and they had found the assistance
Or had they?
Brad, let's go back.
I'm cold and I'm frightened.
Just a moment, Janet.
They may have a phone.
Hello.
Hi! My name's Brad Majors.
This is my fiance, Janet Weiss.
I wondered if you might help us.
Our car broke down up the road.
Do you have a phone we might use?
You're wet.
Yes, it's raining.
Yes.
Oh.
I think, perhaps,
you better both come inside.
You're too kind.
I'm frightened.
What kind of place is this?
It's probably some kind of
hunting lodge for rich weirdos.
This way.
Are you having a party?
You've arrived on
-It's one of the master's affairs.
-Oh.
-Lucky him.
-You're lucky.
He's lucky, I'm lucky,
we're all lucky!
It's astounding
Time is fleeting
Madness takes its toll
But listen closely
Not for very much longer
I've got to keep control
I remember
Doing the time warp
Drinking
Those moments when
