A song about the film Rosemary's Baby.
lyrics
Guy and Rosemary move to a new apartment in the city
Guy’s a good lookin strugling actor, Rosemary is very pretty
the landlord shows them around the place, they spot a secretary
dresser blocking a broom closet, which confuses Miss Rosemary
they soon meet their nosy nelly neighbors named Roman and Minnie
always all up in their business, gotta have the latest skinny
in the laundry room Rosemary meets a young lady named Terry
whom Roman and Minnie took in off the streets when she was very
strung out, hung around her neck a pendant she considers lucky
Rosemary thinks it’s beautiful but the tannis root smells yucky
the very next day Terry throws herself out a 7th story
window, and Ro and Guy try to get by cops to see the gory
dead body, makes Rosemary depressed Minnie asks her to supper
Guy sighs, then realizes she could use a picker upper
and Guy hits it off with Roman unaware that he’s from Hades
soon Guy’ll give Ro’ a baby that’s gross scary and shady
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
Guy gives up his soul, in exchange for an acting role
Baumgart had the role, now he’s blind like a mole
Guy decides it’s time to start procreating
and he marks the calendar for when Rosemary’s ovulating
but she gets dizzy and passes out on the night they’re to conceive
after eating some of Minnie’s mousse that nearly makes her heave
while unconscious Rosemary dreams she’s being reamed by Satan
when she comes to she comes to find out it was just her husband
soon Doc Sapirstein tells Ro she’s preggers recommends that Minnie
make her a vitamin rich daily drink which makes her sick and skinny
then her friend Hutch comes to visit gets the feeling she’s in trouble
and that evening he insists they get together on the double
so Ro goes to meet Hutch but he never shows, she finds a payphone
some lady picks up, said Hutch is sick, and later by his gravestone
gives Ro Hutch’s book, All of Them Witches, and perhaps that maybe
it foreshadows Ro’s future baby that’s gross scary and shady
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
Ro starts feeling excruciating abdominal pain
and discovers Roman and Steven Marcato are both the same
who’s Marcato? He’s the son of a Satan worshipper
so now Ro know’s Roman’s been nothing but a bullshitter
she brings her revelation up with Guy who thinks she’s gone insane
so she walks into traffic and throws the pendant down the drain
then she calls Doc Hill for help but he thinks she’s insane, as well
when she says Doc Sapirstein is a descendant straight from Hell
Hill secretly calls Sapirstein & Guy who come to collect Ro
she escapes and runs home but the witches just walk through the locked door (D’OH!)
Ro goes into labor, Doc Sapirstein sedates her,
Ro wakes up, Doc makes up the baby died, but later
Ro discovers the closet that the secretary once blocked
was a passageway to Roman and Minnie’s place and she was shocked
to find a room of witches round the crib of a baby with rabies
who actually is Rosemary’s Baby, gross scary and shady.
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
Rosemary’s baby is gross, scary, and shady
