He's Got Cash - TimeSlides
Written, produced and sung by Craig Charles. Used as Lister enters his mansion.

He's got a Swatch watch, and a filofax
So that he can correlate his facts
He's got cash
He's got money
He's got cash
He's got money

(instrumental)

He's got cash

Hol Rock - Parallel Universe
Bored of space Holly revelutionises music, by creating a new decimal system, called Hol Rock, using decatives instead of octaves. He makes two new notes H and J. Instruments will have to get bigger to fit the new notes in. Triangles will now have to have 4 sides, and women will be banned from playing the cello.

The Indling Song - Confidence & Paranoia
Written by Dave Lister

Our love I tried to kindle
Like firelight it dwindles
Now I wonder when this wind'll
Ever stop

I've Been To Titan - The End
Drinking song, sung by Peterson, Selby, Chen & Lister.

I've been to Titan
I've been to Juno
I can name (number) things
That (challenge), you know

The contestants then proceed to give correct answers until they get stuck, and whoever gets stuck is 'punished'.

I've been to Titan
I've been to Juno
I can name eight things
That go in jars, you know

Pickles!
Jam!
Spaghetti!
Brains!

The format of the verse seems to be adaptable, dropping the "you know" from the last line to allow for longer challenges, and changing the place name in the second line to keep the rhyme. The 2nd verse is more a joke at Lister's expense.

I've been to Titan
I've been to Polanski
I can name ninety men
Who've slept with Kochanski

Me!
Me!
Me!
The London Jets Juniors!
The service droids!
My mother!

Lunar City Seven - The End & Future Echoes
Performed by Dave Lister (Guitar & Vocals)

To Ganymede and Titan,
Yes sir, I've been around,
But there ain't no place
in the whole of space,
Like the good ol' toddlin'town....

Lunar City Seven,
You're my idea of heaven.
Out of ten, you score eleven,
You good ol' artificial terra-formed
settlement...

The Rimmer Munchkin Song - Blue
Song about Arnold Rimmer. Part of 'The Rimmer Experience'.

If you're in trouble he will save the day,
He's brave and he's fearless come what may,
Without him the mission would go astray...

He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
Without him life would be much grimmer,
He's handsome, trim, and no-one's slimmer,
He will never need a Zimmer.

He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
More reliable than a garden strimmer,
He's never been mistaken for Yul Brynner,
He's not bald and his head doesn't glimmer.

Master of the wit and the repartee,
His command of Space Directives is uncanny,
How come he's such a genius? Don't ask me...

Ask Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer,
He's also a fantastic swimmer,
And if you play your cards right,
then he just might come 'round for dinner.

He's Arnold, Arnold, Arnold Rimmer
No rhymes left now apart from quimmer
We hope they fade us out before we get to schlimmer
Fade out you stupid plimmer

    Rasta Billy Skank - Balance Of Power
    One of Lister's favourites, Rasta Billy Skank's song carries a Government Health Warning: "Danger this music can make you irritable and irrational and has been linked with disorders of the nervous system and bowels." Reading it should be fine though...

    I got Rasta Billy Skank
    So bold, I can't stand still
    I got Rasta Billy Skank...

    She's Out Of My Life - Marooned
    Performed by Dave Lister and was the first song he learnt to play

    She's out of my life
    She's out of my life
    And I don't know whether to laugh or cry
    I don't know whether to live or die
    And it cuts like a knife
    She's out of my life

    Theme Tune
    Original by Jenna Russell.
    Versions include those sung by Elvis Presley (Clayton Mark); played on the Hammond organ for Amateur Hammond Organ Recital Night, by the Skutters; and 2 orchestral versions - Gunmen Of The Apocalypse and Stoke Me A Clipper.

    It's cold outside,
    There's no kind of atmosphere
    I'm all alone,
    More or less
    Let me fly,
    Far away from here
    Fun, fun, fun
    In the sun, sun, sun

    I want to lie,
    Shipwrecked and comatosed
    Drinking fresh mango juice
    Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes
    Fun, fun, fun
    In the sun, sun, sun
    Fun, fun, fun
    In the sun, sun, sun

    Tongue Tied - Parallel Universe
    Performed by Cat, Lister & Rimmer

    When I saw you for the first time
    (first time)
    My knees began to quiver
    (quiver)
    And I got a funny feeling
    (feeling)
    In my kidneys and my liver
    (digestive system baby)

    My hands they started shakin'
    (shakin')
    My heart began a-thumpin'
    (boom boom boom)
    My breakfast left my body
    (huey huey huey)
    Now darling tell me something

    Why do you make me tongue tied
    (tongue tied)
    Tongue tied, whenever you are near me
    (near me)
    Tied tongue
    (tied tongue)
    Tied tongue
    (tied tongue)
    Whenever you're in town

    I saw you 'cross the dance floor
    (dancin')
    I thought of birds and bees
    (reproductive system baby)
    And when I tried to speak to ya
    (talk talk)
    My tongue unraveled to my knees
    (flippety-flippety-flop)

    I tried to say I love you
    (love you)
    But it came out kind of wrong, girl
    (wrong girl)
    It sounded like "Nunubididoo"
    (tongue tied)
    Nuh mur nuh murh ni nong nurl

    'Cause you make me tongue tied
    (tongue tied)
    Tongue tied, whenever you are near me
    (near me)
    Be-dobby-durgle
    (dobby-durgle)
    Tongue tied
    (tongue tied)
    Whenever you're around

    Oh I'm beggin' on my knees
    Sweet, sweet darling, listen please
    Understand me when I say
    Bedurble-diggle-doggle-dooby-doggle-durgle-day

    I'm trying to say nungy-nangy
    (nangy-nungy)
    Ningy-nongy, why can't I tell you clearly
    (clearly)
    Be-dobby-durgle
    (dobby-durgle)
    Durgle-dobby
    (durgle-dobby)
    Whenever you're around
    (around)
    Whenever you're around
