A Cthulhu Hymnal

Cthulhu's Garden

Words by Abner J. Mintz and Sean Roberts, to the tune of ``Octopus's Garden'' by the Beatles:

Chorus:


Don't want to be
Under the sea
In Dread Cthulhu's garden
In R'yleh

Don't want to fight
Unearthly lights
And the thought of
Seeing Mi-Go makes me gray

Cthonians laugh and move around
Because they know we're aboveground

Chorus


I haven't got
Even a shot
Of getting myself mugged
By a Deep One

I'm paranoid
And so I will avoid
Places never touched
By direct sun

I won't mention He Who's Never Named
But Hunting Horrors can't be tamed

Chorus


Don't want to be
Where geometry
Has gone on holiday
At the beach

Sanity demands
Creatures with hands
Not a million tentacles
On a leech!

The Hounds give chase, I know I'm in a race
Round off the corners, that's what I must do

Chorus

If sentient trash
Burbles for my cash
A homeless shoggoth?
You know I'll be sure
To keep a tin
Of gelatin
And while its making friends
I will abjure!

An Elder Sign would help me to be free
Of this black mass that wants to eat me

Chorus
