The Rentaghost theme tune, with onscreen lyrics and a selection of background clips. Three partial segments of the song were taken from different episodes and cut together for this video.

The song was written and performed by Michael Staniforth, who played Timothy Claypole. Michael sadly passed away in 1987 at age 44, three years after the last episode of Rentaghost was made.

Lyrics ...

If your mansion house needs haunting just call Rentaghost
We've got spooks and ghouls and freaks and fools at Rentaghost
Hear the Phantom of the Opera sing a haunting melody
Remember what you see is not a mystery but Rentaghost

At your party be a smarty and hire Rentaghost
If you want a fright climb the spooky heights with Rentaghost
You can let our spirits move you, and for fun play ghostman's knock
Because we aim to shock, we hope your knees will knock that's Rentaghost

Let me say we're most terrific, simple ghosts not scientific
Merely supernatural ghoulies of the day
Heavy footsteps in your attic means a spectre telepathic
Is descending just to spirit you away, hey!

We are extraordinary fellahs here at Rentaghost
To be another Uri Geller come to Rentaghost
For a biography we've ghost writers and not forgetting a ghost script
An apparition quipped from deep inside a crypt, "ring Rentaghost"
An apparition quipped from deep inside a crypt, "ring Rentaghost"
