Dr. Dejection's theme surveys his hidden headquarters, marching minions and profit-driven misery in lyrics by Dr. Jay Enfield.

Gloom and doom Wrack and ruin Secret rooms Where there's evil brewin' With his glowing eyes so cold He's the boss who calls the tune Dr. Dejection!
Night to noon July to June All too soon See his shadow loomin' With his iron fist of might He directs his loyal goons Dr. Dejection!
chorus:
He's the mind behind the madness In a world that's gone to smash! He's a debaser of emotions For the sake of cold hard cash! If it weren't for our Matchman Every heart would feel his lash!
From his tomb Orders boom 'Neath the moon Anticupids zoom With his forces on the march From Bombay to Saskatoon Dr. Dejection!
