Rocky Horror:
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
Oh, woe is me
My life is a misery
Oh, can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer
I woke up this morning with a start when I fell out of bed
(That ain't no crime)
And left from my dreaming was a feeling of unnameable dread
(That ain't no crime)
My high is low
I'm dressed up with no place to go
And all I know
Is I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

Dr. Frank-N-Furter:  
Oh, Rocky!
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 
Oh, my baby!
(Sha la la la)
(That ain't no crime)
(That ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
The Sword of Damocles is hanging over my head

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 
Oh, really!
(That ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror:
And I've got the feeling someone's gonna be cutting the thread
(That ain't no crime)
Oh, woe is me
My life is a mystery
And can't you see
That I'm at the start of a pretty big downer

Dr. Frank-N-Furter: 
Come here!
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no
(Sha la la la)
(That ain't no crime)
(That ain't no crime)
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no,
(Sha la la la, that ain't no crime)

Rocky Horror: 
Oh, no, no, no
(Sha la la la)
(That ain't no crime)
