MICHAEL RENNIE WAS ILL
THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL
BUT HE TOLD US WHERE WE STAND
AND FLASH GORDON WAS THEREIN SILVER UNDERWEAR
CLAUDE RAINS WAS THE INVISIBLE 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.

AND WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE
SAID GEORGE PAL TO HIS BRIDE
I'M GOING TO GIVE YOUSOME TERRIBLE THRILLS

(Wedding bells are ringing - PHANTOM voices. PHANTOMS create arch through which BRAD and JANET enter, both are breathless.)
        JANET. Oh Brad, wasn't it wonderful - didn't Betty look radiantly beautiful - I can't believe it - just an hour ago she was plain Betty Munroe and now she's Mrs. Ralf Hapshatt.
        BRAD. Yes, Janet - Ralf's a lucky guy.
       JANET. Yes.
        BRAD. Everyone knows Betty's a wonderful little cook.
        JANET. Yes.
        BRAD. And Ralf himself will be in line for promotion in a year or two.
        JANET. Yes, Brad.
[Song: "DAMN IT JANET"]
        BRAD.
HEY, JANET.
        JANET.
