Michael Rennie was ill the day the Earth stood still
       F                E
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Reines 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                                      (embarque)

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 Powell to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills, like a                     (rembarque)
